The Pope probably would like them, come to think of it

Another underappreciated ministry:
A couple dressed as doctors and wearing clown outfits arrive at the Gemelli hospital where Pope John Paul II is being treated in Rome, February 4, 2005. The pair told reporters that they were children’s’ doctors specializing in ‘smile therapy’ on the hospital’s children’s ward and had come to cheer up the Pope. The pair, Doctor Sara Filanti, known as Doctor Doughnut and her colleague Doctor White Cabbage, were taken away by police.
Normally, I think clowns should be taken away by the police, but these two, lacking the full face-paint treatment, were only mildly freaky.
