The entertainment has to be proven that you talked business such as taking a potential driver out to supper. Going to a movie would be pretty hard to prove as a deduction.
I'm looking and don't see where Frank EVER said such a thing about the showers. I think I'll hold my judgement on that one and a few of the others until Frank himself has the time to answer. I wouldn't want to mislead anyone by making such a strong statement without the facts to back it up.

Personally, we've always taken the showers seperately from the per diem. JMHO
