I'd be remiss talking about mimes, if I didn't remind everyone that I hate clowns as well. Probably relates to some long repressed childhood memory, or it could just be the "get in your face/look at me; aren't I funny?" attitude that they exude. Or it could be the influence of the numerous "evil clown" images that are out there. But for whatever reason, I simply don't like them. Or bagpipes. Or corduroy for that matter either. So it goes without saying that encountering a corduroy clad clown playing a bagpipe would be a VERY unpleasant experience.
