As one who suffers from disfigurment that has caused fright from children myself, I can tell you that this was the man's method of mocking HIMSELF. He does not truly scare them at all, he's joking about how it feels to have a small child look upon your physical self and exhibit horror ... the first time it happens, you are hurt and scared your own self. I can assure you Dave does NOT say "Boo!" and send children off running when they look at him in fear. Glenn and the rest of those in attendence that night knew full well what was going on, I'm very sorry you could not comprehend this from the little bit you saw -- perhaps you missed the detail on just who Dave is and how his visage came to be the way it is today.
Thanks for responding thoughtfully.I hear what you’re saying, and of course I never thought the guy went around doing those things! I thought the first part of his joke was funny, i.e., “it doesn’t help when I go (scary noise )”...I just thought the followup “joke” was vulgar, past the limits on a show promoting Godliness. “Put away perversity from your mouth”, etc. Decades of classic humor have been produced without such references.
That’s all, folks!
