Sort gig story. Once at a convention gig, the CEO wanted to address the conventioneers. So, he came up on stage and did his speech etc. As he was leaving the stage, he asked me what happened to the breeze. Of course, I've got this puzzled look on my face as all sorts of possibilities went through my mind. Then he pointed down to the monitors and asked "Aren't those fans?" I then explained what their function was. He said he had always thought that they were fans for keeping cool at hot venues and on stages. That was a new one for me, but I guess to the average guy, that could be a logical assumption. Maybe even a good idea. Attach a fan to the monitor! Who knows?

We had a thread about stupid stuff non-musicians tell you, it died, unfortunately but you can dig it up, there are funny ones.

Two in one is cool though.
