That's terrible, clowns in Britain only throw custard pies at each other, I had no idea they were such a dangerous species abroad.
LOL! Only when Jack Handy writes their material...
My father took me to the circus when I was about 11. The without-a-net tightrope walker fell off. I was so young, I thought the whole thing might have been part of the act, although I kept wishing they would get through the boring part where the guy lays on the ground clutching his side.
I read in the paper two days later the tightrope walker had three fractured ribs, but was expected to recover.
