I really don't mind that somebody wrote the original line. My skin isn't that thin. Amused me more than anything else. Bassists have the reputation of being the slow kid in the back of the band class. I did however hope that the guy who posted this might know better. I suppose that the original author is attempting to look all edgy by jumping one others. Seems a mark of a less than stellar author to this guy though.
Thought someone else might get a kick out of this.
