Library Lost&Found #3 (or Send In the Clowns*)

...lead by your clown ministry troupe.' Uh...what? Lol! I can only imagine what some of the faces of the older folks I grew up with would look like if they sat down on a Sun morning to a bunch of clowns, heh! Our lost and found at work(a bank) is pretty much a couple of coffee cans ppl bring their change in and then leave behind.
