1) Make with the money, Horse, or the Ply gets it
2) Don't feel like singing, eh? Perhaps you need a little persuasion? Let's see how you like sleeping with the fishes
3) Balsa makes good flying machines. How about plywood?
4) AS: "Dammit. We forgot the cement shoes."

#3 "As the bass sinks slowly in the west, our intrepid Wiccan Priests perform the intricate 'Dance of Doom' signaling the end of summer and the cleansing power of water..." (or was that scotch and soda?)

1) Are you sure that he can swim?

2) It's my bass! No it's not, it's MY bass!

3) They say if you llove somthing to let it go...and if it happens to sink in the pool then it's the coolest damn artificial reef I've ever seen.

4) Well so much for the artificial reef idea. But i think we are ready for David Letterman and Will It Float?!?!

Ha! Reminds me of when several of us bassists floated a sad-looking aluminum bass out on the local campus pond. It even made the news on the radio! And of course, they incorrectly identified it as a 'cello. *sigh*

Lightbulb ahhh...

I thought you guys could do better on this. So far, it looks like we don't have a winner yet. A few winers, but they don't win anything..

1. This is where Jed goes when he asks (begs) for a raise/a break for lunch/a break to use the little luthiers room.
2. That little guy is heavier than he looks!
3. If this doesn't land in the pool were gonna have to bury him in it.
4. If you'd used the bathroom before you left the house like I told you, you wouldn't be in this predicament.

TB agents take down Luthieriano crime family....

1. Two unknown finger gunman from the Luthieriano crime family caught by TB surveillance during a "hit" on a naked Gamba.

2. TB agents snapped this photo as the two thugs attempt to dispose of the body.

3. The hitmen realize a moment too late "we forgot the cement boots!"

4. The two mobsters were later identified as Arnold "the butcher" and Kenny "the eater" Lutheriano by Mr. Ed, who happened to be grazing nearby.
