Why, I feel so flattered.

So on this one concert we were playing metal, and near the end some drunkard spills his beer on my amp in the middle of a song, so I wasn't able to play for the rest of the gig. The crowd notices and gets upset, when the guitarist asks "Why are they so angry all of a sudden?"

I wrote a song, but I can't read music so I don't know what it
is. Every once in a while I'll be listening to the radio and I
say, "I think I might have written that."

They have a hard enough time remembering we exist, much less making jokes about us...

How do you know when a guitard is about to say something intelligent? When he starts his sentence with "A bass player once told me."

Why don't women guitards breast feed their babies? It hurts when they boil their nipples.

Why did the blonde have bruises on her navel? Her boyfriend was a guitard.
