I wonder how long it was in the coffin with him - long enough to smell yet?

I've always had a problem with the mortuary industry sealing up bodies in air-tight caskets so that they don't decompose back into the soil, but throwing a guitar into one of 'em so that nobody can ever play it again should be criminal in and of itself!!!

You can't take it with you, you selfish ****!

I remember reading about this before. I think it was the day (or night, rather) after he was buried.

If they dig him back up to put the guitar in the coffin, do they have to re-hearse?

Feel free to be insulted all you want because, as the Bass Humor type mod guy, we never drag out the sense of humor and we always get seriously offended at everything people say. Especially when Tele's get stolen from coffins. Of course, if it was a 63 P bass, we could be MUCH more outraged.

And people in WI, including my customers in Baraboo, Jackson and Waukesha NEVER refer to themselves as Cheeseheads. And they would not be caught dead being seen on TV wearing one of those things on their heads at a game up in Green Bay. Assuming they could even GET a ticket instead of inheriting the season tickets from a deceased relative.

Thanks. I will step in front of a bus. Just for you. I appreciate your suggestion.

Feel better now?
