Clown Council Votes 7–6 To Rename Airlock ‘The Exit Interview’

In a session marked by three walkouts and one accidental pie, dignity narrowly prevails.

“It’s about dignity,” said Councillor Bonko, adjusting his ceremonial wig. “If Security is going to space us for ‘existing near the armoury,’ the least they can do is use the correct terminology.”

The opposition bloc, led by Mime Representative ———, registered its dissent by silently pretending to be trapped in a box for the entire forty-minute debate. Observers called it “the most coherent argument presented.”

An amendment proposing that the airlock also play a short kazoo fanfare on each use was tabled after the kazoo was found in the airlock.

Security declined to comment, but was seen switching on a stun baton “for no reason in particular.”

Next week on ClownFeed: the bike horn shortage enters its third shift, and a leaked memo reveals the Captain’s spare ID has been in a clown’s shoe since Tuesday.

ClownFeed is part of HONK. All clowns, councils and votes are fictional. No mimes were harmed. One mime was mildly inconvenienced.
