Actually, it was already something of a tradition - kids were doing it
before the movie. At least, that's what most news stories I came across
said.
 
Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems cruel and harsh.
Says he feels all alone in a threatening world, where what lies ahead is
vague and uncertain. Doctor says treatment is simple. "Great clown
Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up".
        Man bursts into tears. "But Doctor. . .I am Pagliacci."
