Clarence

I do not think that we ever knew his real name.  But everybody knew him as Clarence, not Clarence Reynolds, or Clarence Brown, and certainly not Clarence Von Grudeen; just plain Clarence.  In fact, it cannot even be confirmed that he even told anyone of this name- how it came to be is really just a mystery.  Now Clarence lived a good life, if somewhat different from you or I.  He spent most of his life traveling the world, with his possesions on his back, working small cash jobs here and there.  It was also a mystery as to where Clarence even originated.  Most people that had the pleasure of conversation with Clarence thought his dialect was of a northern Mississippi accent.  However, the one time that Clarence actually traveled through that particular area, he had a very difficult time.  It turns out that nobody there could understand anything Clarence was trying to say, and took him for a mumbling fool.  Being a man of many talents, Clarence was resourceful at finding ways to make his meager living.  At one point Clarence took a job as a birthday clown, only to sadly discover he was in fact terrified of clowns.  Needless to say, that career path did not last terribly long.  As I mentioned earlier in the story, Clarence seemed to have an almost but not entirely magical fascination with Lou Wills Jr., best known as playing the the character of Lou Wills the cab driver on the award winning show Three's Company.  This obseesion, if you will, had actually caused quite some torment on Clarence as he traveled from city to city.  Clarence was known to harrass cabbies on a regular basis in hopes of meeting him, not quite understanding the difference between what is real and what is not.  I could go on some more about the adventures of Clarence, but i suppose by now you are curious...  But the answer is no, Clarence is not in fact a registered voter for the Democratic party in Rockwall County, Texas- a tiny little place that Clarence had once traveled through about eighteen years ago.  As you may have already guessed, this story has nothing to do with the particular cache you now seek, other than the fact that I bought the container when it was on Clarence.
