Game thread: Best 5-word responses

Let's have some fun here. Post a question that annoys you and the best 5-word answer.

Rules: answer must be exactly 5 words. Don't intentionally bait anyone.

I'll go first with a few:

Q: Will I damage my cab by underpowering it?
A: Myth. Don't worry about it.

Q: How much is my such-and-such year Les Paul worth?
A: Keep your job. Millions exist.

Q: Are the best bass players black?
A: Don't know. Ask Stu Hamm.

Q: What's the best bass for praise and worship?
A: Any that works, I guess.

Let 'er rip guys.
