    Honestly, these are not the kind of questions that require any of the
    "classic comebacks" If you want promote unicycling, answer the questions
    truthfully to the best of your ability. The third question may offer
    some bits of humor if you've been called a clown while riding or asked
    where your other wheel is; but for a school publication that has the
    potential to interest others in riding and even make you some new
    friends, I'd tend not to be snide or express the sentiment seen here
    that non-riders are idiots.

    It's a great opportunity you have. By all means be funny but remember
    that reporters can twist your words. 😉

    Who is Feen Phenique and why does he keep a secret hideout in
    Brooklyn?

    The narcotic that forges their union, is a substance known only to one
    To the clown it is known as dominion, it’s a secret that he’ll give to
    none
    The drug which gives the clown power, means the circus can never be
    stopped
    And his dream can go on unhindered, ’til the last human being has
    dropped

  3. I have been stopped by people who are truely interested and have listed
    a few of their most common questions below.

    1) How do you stop?

    2) How do you go down hill?

    3) How do you slow down?

    I have come to realize that most people view the unicycle as a bicycle
    missing a wheel. They expect the rider to be able to coast like a bike
    and require brakes to stop. It may be helpful if you first give a brief
    mechanical description of a unicycle and how it works.

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.
