A clown stares at a shop owner from outside the shop. There is a name on the store called ''Sam's''.
It is weird for the clown to stare at someone from outside a store.
Why is the clown staring at the man?
You were with Ringling Brothers? I was with Lehman Brothers.

A joke about the 2008 financial crisis: both the clown and the bartender were fired and worked for "Brothers" --- the Ringling Brothers (a circus company) for the clown, and "Lehman Brothers" (an investment bank) for the bartender. The similarity of the names and their intersecting sad stories makes the situation unusual and funny.
