Geocache Description:

Easy park and grab (see hint please). Small camo cache with an extra piece of tape around it to secure it. Please place it back as found and DO NOT remove the item inside. Only room for a log sheet. What better place for a Joker cache than between a dentist's office (where your smile will shine and your mouth will hurt) and a funeral home (where he may laugh you to death).

The Joker is a fictional character, a comic book supervillain (and was my favorite) published by DC Comics. The Joker has been referred to as the Clown Prince of Crime (or Chaos), the Harlequin of Hate (Havoc), and the Ace of Knaves. He is the archenemy of Batman. Created by Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger and Bob Kane, the character first appeared in Batman #1 (Spring 1940).

Throughout his comic book appearances, the Joker is portrayed as a master criminal whose characterization has varied. The original and currently dominant image is of a highly intelligent psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humor, while other writers have portrayed him as an eccentric prankster. Similarly, throughout the character's long history, there have been several different origin tales but his true name and story is still unknown; they most commonly depict him as falling into a tank of chemical waste, which bleaches his skin and turns his hair green and his lips bright red, giving him the appearance of a clown.

The Joker has been portrayed by Cesar Romero in the Batman television series, Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton's Batman, and Heath Ledger in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, which posthumously earned Ledger the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Larry Storch, Frank Welker, Mark Hamill, Kevin Michael Richardson, Jeff Bennett, Corey Burton and John DiMaggio have provided the voice for the character in animated form.

A famous saying is, "When super-villains want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories."

Enjoy the cache. More to follow if you like.
