So, it ends up that Penn was "fired" over his involvement in the UC Davis bill. |
|
Five hundred dollars for a band is kinda pricey for college marching band. Penn had conducted secret negotiations with the band director, and that's where the problems came: Penn: What do you fellas get an hour? Band Director: For playing, we $100 an hour. Penn: I see. What do you get for not playing? Band Director: $200 an hour. Penn: Well, clip me off a piece of that. Band Director: Now for rehearsing, we make special rate. That's $300 an hour...That's for rehearsing. Penn: And what do you get for not rehearsing? Band Director: You couldn't afford it. You see, if we don't rehearse, we don't play, and if we don't play (he snaps his finger) - that runs into money. Penn: How much would you want to run into an open manhole? Band Director: Just the cover charge! Ha, ha, ha. Well, let's see how we stand. Yesterday, we didn't come. You remember, yesterday we didn't come? Penn: Oh, I remember. Band Director: Yes, that's three hundred dollars. Penn: Yesterday, you didn't come, that's three hundred dollars? Band Director: Yes, three hundred dollars. Penn: Well, that's reasonable. I can see that alright. Band Director: Now today, we did come. That's (pause).. Penn: That's a hundred you owe us. Band Director: Hey, I bet I'm gonna lose on the deal. Tomorrow we leave. That's worth about (pause).. Penn: Five hundred dollars. Band Director: Yeah, that's alright for me, but I've got a partner. Penn: What?! Band Director: (winks) That would be you. Penn: Ah. This is going get expensive.

Don't forget to tip the mods. (In the absence of cows, mod tipping is our only source of entertainment.)
