Now you're just baiting us for another unlicensed pun.Never trust unlicensed puns, always check they're ofishal!
You won't worm your way out of this one...reely
That leads to statements like "Hey, i will be the worm and you can be the horny bass!"
I can see them all lined in a row! All we need now is some hookers! 
So at rehearsal yesterday my B15 started to sound rough and had an increased hum. Looking at it I notice one of the tubes had red plated. I switched it off for a few moments and it came back on normally. We finished the rehearsal.
After the band had gone I used contact cleaner on the two sockets and tightened up the contacts in the bases. I reinstalled the tubes in the opposite sockets.
Today practicing away it happened again. The same tube in the opposite socket was red. I replaced it with a good but used tube from my stocks. Got down to practice yet again. Shortly the other original tube went red. Did the same thing and finished my session. The tubes that are in there now I’ve had for more than forty years sitting in a drawer. I hope I’m finished with this amps idiosyncrasies!

The things you can learn around here...
Careful what you 'learn' around here...believe none of what we say, and only about half of what we can prove.
You should be good until 2057!
You mean I can’t be naughty again until 2057? Where’s the fun in that?
Hell....most of us won't live that long...so where's the fun in that?
Naughty is a state of mind and I am confident you will always be a naughty, naughty man.You mean I can’t be naughty again until 2057? Where’s the fun in that?
Never mind the naysayers. IT'S THE MAN KEEPING YOU DOW.
While we're at it, Never Mind the Bullocks, here's...
