TIL, when walking into a bar in England, Jimi Hendrix and his band were told they weren't welcome by a bartender who said "Sorry, mates, we can't serve your sort in here,". Hendrix thought it was because he was black, but it was because they were mistaken for circus clowns.
In the summer of 1855 here in Toronto we had the famous Toronto Circus Riot of 1855 where the clowns on their day off went out for booze & brothels. They ended up picking the wrong spot which was the local hangout for the Hook & Ladder Firefighting Company and the rest is history...

These weren’t the kind of clowns you want to mess with.
And these weren’t the kind of firefighters you wanted to mess with either.
