hidden among sponsor angels

Last Friday we went to see Calo Flamenco. Before the show started I was leafing through the pamflet (it mostly detailed the performace and thanked all-the-people-that-make-this-sort-of-thing-possible and gave them funny names based on how much money they donated). Amist the explanations of how to behave (they encouraged jaleos - encouraging shouts - and palmas - rhythmical clapping - during the performance) I found the following disclamer: "Calo Flamenco assumes no responsibility/liability for injuries resulting from attempting to follow the palmeros during the show. Possible risks include dryness/cracking in the palm of your hand, muscle fatigue and other physical injury to you or the person sitting next to you. If you decide to follow the palmeros and steal their work, you will not be paid for your services and cannot deduct your services on your tax return as a charitable contribution."

Made me snicker.
