A clown is staring into a large glass window into a store. The store is named Sam's.  There is a clerk at the counter looking at the clown. Based on the tap near the clerk, this place serves soda.
It's abnormal for someone to walk around dressed as a clown. It's also peculiar to just stand and stare at someone through a window, as well as creepy.
Why is the clown staring at the clerk?
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.
