I took my kids to the circus once. We sat next to the entrance where the performers came on - not everyone had the same view. The 'bear tamer' was getting ready to come on when suddenly 'Smokey' took a bite out of the back of his leg - just below the knee, but above the boot. His pants were slightly shreaded so he quickly tied them over the wound, but blood was flowing into his boot.

Suddenly they announced him, he went on and performed (an abreviated show I believe). As he was walking off next to us, it appeared his boot was topping off with blood as he limped and the clowns rushed him off.

The show must go on ...

YOW! Must have really needed his paycheck.
