CHICAGO, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- An Oklahoma man said he commutes 1,680 miles a week to take an improv comedy class at the famous Chicago school that trained his hero.

Thomas Crane, 24, of Blanchard, Okla., said he drives 840 miles each Thursday to attend a Friday class at iO Chicago and leaves immediately after class for the 840 mile drive home -- a commute he said takes about 15 hours in each direction, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday.

All that money spent on gas, maintenance/upkeep and hotels every week could be used to temporarily relocate to Chicago. Just a thought.

My best friend technically commuted over 3000 miles for grad school in her last semester...but that's because she was living in Paris and working on her dissertation at NYU, so her meetings with her advisors and her defense made for a long journey
