ANSWER: Games
Bishop
The canonical chessmen date back to the Staunton chess set of 1849. The piece's deep groove symbolizes a bishop's (or abbot's) mitre. The groove originates from the original form of the piece, an elephant with the groove represented the elephant's tusks (see photo in the history section). The British chose to call the piece the bishop because the projections at the top resembled a mitre.

ANSWER: Clowns
Rodeo Clown
Typically, rodeo clowns work in groups of two or three, with two free-roaming rodeo clowns and sometimes a third, often more clownish-behaving team member, who is known as the barrel man. The barrel man uses a large padded barrel that he can jump in and out of easily, and the barrel helps to protect the rodeo clown from the bull.
