"Cleetus Ferbderbler, Boy Improvisor, Imbroiled in Salary Dispute with Well-known "Comedy" School

Dear Everyone,

Thanks to all who followed my adventures touring for a well-known "Comedy" school.  Our performances in North Korea, at the People's Glorious Cement Factory # 6, and for Our Beloved Leader, were certainly memorable.

Imagine my horror, at returning to a large midwestern city (my attorney, Tom King Clear, has advised me to be as vague as possible), to be called into the main office of a certain well-known
"Comedy" school, famous for producing, and sometimes expelling, several well-known comedians of the '70's.

"Cleetus, you idiot, " the Head of Touring, greeted me.

"Good morning, Ms. Klisterschmuck."

"How the hell did you spend $600.00 a day in North Korea?"

I patiently explained, that, while not a professional economist, I reasoned that the rate of exchange could be made to work in my favor----as the North Korean won = 0.00759293 USD, I spent rather freely. 

"Your per diem was calculated in North Korean won."

I started visibly.  Surely some error has occurred.

"Yes, and you made it:  You owe us $3000.00."

I have referred this matter to my attorney, Tom King Clear. 
Stay tuned!
