Clown nose

[unbibium]

I found a clown nose in my luggage. It's a relic of a trick I never ended up trying. It's from Penn & Teller's book, How to Play in Traffic, and it goes like this:

Prepare for the trick by carrying a clown nose with you anywhere you're likely to be asked for ID. Use a small piece of red foam to "improve" your ID so that there is a small, but easily removed clown nose on your picture. Then, when you hand someone your ID, you put on the clown nose. They look at the ID, they flick off the nose, they look at you, they laugh.

Neat sounding trick, and I found a clown nose at a local party shop, but I couldn't find any "red foam" anywhere. Pencil erasers don't work, even when I use rubber cement to make it a little more tacky. I figure a tiny wad of that poster-stick stuff would work, but I can only find it in blue or white. And wouldn't it come off in my pocket?

Do any of you think you can solve the problem of applying a temporary clown nose to a piece of ID?

Try going to a craft store, and look for little fuzzy stickers or so on. They make various things, for scrapbooking, and/or for costumes and the like. You might find something useful.

Just pinch out a piece of foam from inside the big nose.

It's not a foamy nose. Maybe that's part of my problem. It's hard plastic with one of those delicate rubber strings.

I'll order a real one online one of these days.
