Fifteen clowns from Billy Smart's Circus who were

too/to large

too/to squeeze in the barrel of the human-cannonball gun were given their marching orders earlier this week. In a statement sent

too/to our newspaper, one clown admitted: "It's true that I am a little

too/to heavy for the cannon, and I don't always make it

too/to the safety net. However, I can tightrope walk and juggle. I have been loyal

too/to Mr Smart for 23 years. His decision does not just affect me, but my wife

too/to. She will have

too/to find a new job; and believe me, that is not going

too/to be easy for a 6-foot woman with a full beard."
