Or the one that dancers get all the time: Hello, we would like "flamencotainment" at our party. How much is it to have your group come and play? Dancer: Our price for a good two set show is: 850.00 for a guitarist, two dancers and a singer. We make 200.00 each for traveling three hours to your party, paying for gas, and giving up my Thurs night dance class where I make 300.00. Party maker: Oh that is outrageous! How can you charge that much for 90 minutes of music! I am shocked. I think you trying to rip me off. Good bye! Dancer: :/ Party maker: Well I checked around and I see that others charge more for flamenoctainment, but I still feel your price is high. We are throwing a party and we only have 150.00 for entertainment. Why do you even need a singer? We don't like flamenco singing, it's the worst part of flamenco. And we also don't see why you need a guitarist or two dancers. Can you bring a boom box and dance twice for 20 minutes by yourself? Dancer: Sorry I can't help you. Good luck. Party maker: Well I can throw in another 25.00 making the total we will pay you 175.00, so if you're trying to bargain with us, you should know that is as high as we will tolerate going. Dancer: Thank you for your offer I must decline as I teach on Thursday night and make 300.00 form teaching my class. Party maker: This is your last chance to agree, as we are going to hire someone else and this is your last chance to perform at our party. party maker: Hello,heeeeelloooo ? Hey has the line gone dead? Hellooo?
