Yeah ... it's a mutliple choice.  At great personal risk I have obtained a
copy of the first sheet for this years Club and Bar Exam (ho ho) ...

=============

Please read all questions carefully before answering, then run away and
leave your bar tender to do it:

1) You are called by a well know regional band looking for a gig.  You
don't have your calendar to hand.  Do you:

a) Explain that you don't have your calendar handy and ask them to call
back later.
b) Pick a date at random and hope you don't have anything booked.
c) Tell them to send a tape.
d) Run away and leave the bartender to deal with it.

2) You have accidently triple booked a Saturday night, and none of the
bands that show up are the band you have advertized for that night because
you misread your calendar.  Do you:

a) Explain the situation rationally to all three bands and to the audience,
decide on a running order and manage the timing.
b) Pick two bands at random and tell them to get lost.
c) Blame the bar tender.
d) Run away and leave the bar tender to sort it all out.

3) You are having a succesful night with a well known regional band.  The
door has pulled in $980, the guarrantee is $750, so you exercised your
constitutional right to skim $200 off the top for cocaine money.  At the
end of the night, you realize that the doorman has also skimmed $200 for
Dilaudid money.  Do you:

a) quietly put the money you skimmed back in the pot.
b) ask the doorman to quietly put the money he skimmed back in the pot.
c) tell the band you only made $580 so what are they going to do, sue you?
d) run away and leave the bartender to sort it all out

====================

The answer to all three questions is obviously d), except for 2) which is
c) and d).
