      Cayman Islands Bank Manager: [Chuckles] I'm sorry, I can't disclose any information about that customer's secret, illegal account.

      [Hangs up]

      Cayman Islands Bank Manager: Oh, crap. I shouldn't have said he was a customer... Oh, crap. I shouldn't have said it was a secret... Oh, crap! I *certainly* shouldn't have said it was illegal!

      [Sits back, fanning himself]

      Cayman Islands Bank Manager: Ah, it's too hot today.

    You could wake up dead tomorrow
    Bart inadvertently reveals that Krusty the clown has been hiding income offshore.

    This is decent episode with some good Krusty moments.

    I like the concept of the much loved celebrity being caught dodging taxes as it is a very real issue and as relevant today as it ever was. This drives the plot along with the idea that certain people cannot live a life outside the spotlight. The character of Krusty is used well by the writers and so are Bart and Lisa.

    I do not think the humour is at the standard set by the show up to this point. Comedy is in the eye of the beholder, so others may find it funnier than me, but the punchlines do not hit as hard or feel as memorable to me personally.
