So much for some time off
Next time I'll ask where, when, why and most important..."HOW MUCH"

Speaking of getting "signed up" Clem had an incident this summer traveling via air in the USA.
Imagine getting arrested for patronizing the airport lounge while waiting for your flight.
It seems that the air port authority in Minneapolis wants to set a good example and are awarded crispy creams for a job well done. So if it's a little slow that day keeping a vigil eye out for those crazy terrorists they can arrest you for suspicion of being intoxicated. I guess they hang around the lounges and watch to see if any hill billies are making themselves at home, then BAM ... Next thing Clem knew he was sporting new duds and attending A.A. meetings in lock up down town. He was held for 36 hours with out a phone call, until a sympathetic prison guard let him use his own cell phone to call home to say he was alive, under arrest, and might be a bit late for the next gig....
So the moral of the story for foreigners in the USA is
1) Don't drink free pour gin at the airport in Minnesota
2) Don't wear a Metalica t-shirt while reading a copy of "Auto Trader" drinking free pour Gin at the airport in Minnesota
3) Don't state publicly that Jessie The Body Ventura is a horrible actor while doing any of the above
...Clem's only regret is that they wouldn't allow him to keep the cool outfit
