Place: Guitar Center
Mission: To purchase those thingies that keep my guitar strap from falling off.

Me: HI!
Guitar Center Employee: What can I do for you?
Me: I need...
(guy sitting behind me starts jamming Metallica on the guitar)
Me: I NEED...
My Brain: ?
Me: I NEED STRAP...
My Brain: ? Locks?
Guitar Center Employee: WHAT?
Me: I NEED STRAP...STRAP
My Brain: LOCKS! LOCKS!
Me: I NEED
(guy sitting behind me stops playing)
Me: STRAP ONS!
Entire accessories department turns to look at me.
Guitar Center Employee: Um, don't you mean strap locks?
Me: Um, yeah. Two please.
 
I think it was the "rude guitar player" behind her.....Metallica will do that to you.....BUT I thought you were a heavy metal bassist (at least part of the time)? you can think of chords and notes but not "strap locks"?

BTW - glad you got rid of the cartoon......nice pic Dis.

BTW - come to the next Chicago GTG (sometime in September) and we'll make sure you meet some "nice" guys....(i.e. guys you can deal with and who treat you with the respect or disrespect you are due...)

Did you really yell it?
 
Maybe you need a date?
