I’m a True Fan of yours and I gladly give you all my wages for today and… er… um… actually, I spent a heck of a lot more than what I made today… so… uh… you owe me… let’s see… carry the two… $189.98… but let’s round that up to an even $200, shall we?

Oh, and cash… no personal checks… after all, you ARE a self employed artist.
