[David H. Bebbington]

Dear Mark,

Do you know the story of the man who got a backstage job at Le Crazy Horse (the same story used to be told of the Folies Bergere).

The first month was heaven.

The second month was hell.

After that, it was just a job.

Cheers,

Roger

I believe this was the guy who was once talking to a friend about his job and said "The money's not much, only 50 francs a week, but it's all I can afford!"

This joke is a certified British chestnut and is at least 80 years old!
