You're right. I'll get my pipe wrench out and get to work.

I’ll bring over the angle grinder and Oxy-Acetylene rig after dinner.

Ah yes, the remarks and questions.
- Thats quite an instrument you have there!
- So it is, thanks for pointing it out!

- Is that a double bass?
- No, its an egg slicer. But thanks for asking.

- You shouldve played the flute!
- Yes, then I could shove it up your ... But we could have a go anyway.

The statement I always wanted to hear and finally did after years of shlepping the bass around was" Wherever you're going I hope they ask you to play".

Random stranger - 'Wow, that is a really huge guitar. Don't you wish you took up a smaller instrument?'

Me - 'Wow, you're the very first person to have ever asked me that question. Thank you!'

Random stranger - 'Wow, that is a really huge guitar. Don't you wish you took up a smaller instrument?'

People say, seeing the bass loading me down, "Don't you wish you played piccolo? And I have to (truthfully) reply: " I do play piccolo, and when I do, I usually have to also carry a flute, clarinet, Bass clarinet, tenor..." And they don't have wheels.

Me - 'Wow, you're the very first person to have ever asked me that question. Thank you!'
