' as _ ' Tom and Tim have alwayslilted clowns. As a matter of fact. their idol is Flonald McDonald. With the idea of earning some extra income and because of their love of clowns. Tom and Tim decided to start their own business. Last year. while still keeping their iohs at ABC. they opened a store selling party supplies, as well as, party idea. They also organized parties. and they world even be hired to wort: as clowns at these parties. They called their business 'Ounb s D umber. Inc.' To operate the store. they rented premises on Monkland eye\" in H.116. They haye become ysry welt known in the area. and customers came from all over Montreal to shop at their store. The party business has become so successful and so much in demand, that Tom and Tim hays very little free time. So busy. in fact. that one recent Monday morning, after a party which they had organised and participated in for their customers on the Sunday night. Tom and Tim had not had enough time to change out of their clown costumes. and want to work at ABC dressed up as clowns. While their'boeses may have known about "dress down Fridays", they had never heard about *dr eee down Mondays\". Their bosses were outraged at the way they were dressed. and even though their job performance had always been adequate, .thnlwerwhfired on the spin. To make matters worse. Tom and Tim learned later that day-that the building in which their store was located had been sold. and that the new owner was planning to take over their premises to run his own business. One of the reasons why the Sunday night party went on so long is that one of the stunts or skits which they performed had backfired. They had organized this party as a major. annual corporate event for the employees of a Fortune EOO company. During the evening. they had convinced the CEO of the cemoany to participate in one of their skits whereby a harmless vegetable colour dye is used to colour one' s hair. For some reason, when they applied this dye to the CEO's hair. his hair turned purple and orange. and there wasno way of getting these colours but. The CEO was Iiuid and extremely angry, and threatened not to pay them for organizing the party, and seen to sue them. Tom and Tim are totally at a loss and decide to consult a lawyer.
