Fifteen clowns from Billy Smart's Circus who were too large to squeeze in the barrel of the human-cannonball gun were given their marching orders earlier this week. In a statement sent to our newspaper, one clown admitted: "It's true that I am a little too heavy for the cannon, and I don't always make it to the safety net. However, I can tightrope walk and juggle. I have been loyal to Mr Smart for twenty-three years. His decision does not just affect me, but my wife too. She will have to find a new job; and believe me, that is not going to be easy for a 6-foot woman with a full beard.
I took out the other choices and left the correct answers up.
