    Default Reasons Why Guitars Are Better Than Women

    I found this one the web....

    1. A guitar has a volume knob
    2. If you break a guitar's G-string, it only costs $0.79 for a new one
    3. You can make a guitar scream as loud as you want it to
    4. You can unplug a guitar
    5. You can finger a guitar for hours without it complaining it wants more
    6. Other people can play your guitar without it getting upset
    7. You can finger a guitar in public and get applause, not arrested
    8. You can have a guitar any color you want and noone will care
    9. If your guitar gets loose, you can just tighten up the strings
    10. If your guitar doesn't make sounds you like, you can change pickups
    11. You can use four fingers at a time on a guitar
    12. If your guitar strings are too heavy, you can just get a lighter set
    13. You can have a guitar professionally adjusted to your liking
    14. If you scratch a guitar's back, it's unintentional, not required
    15. You can go to a guitar shop and play all the guitars you want for free
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    I'm not going there!!!! Our wives do read over our shoulders at some of the traffic, which passes by our monitors. I will help keep my other brother fretters from getting into hot water by not continuing with this thread.

    Well not a problem here, I sent a copy to my wife and she thought it was quite funny.. But it was never my intention to offend anyone. So anyone that got offended by this: SORRY!

    No problem here. But I think we need to be sensitive to others. I speak with experience.

    Yeah, no problem with this one, but be careful about posting anything offensive in the future. If you are worried, you can pm me before you post.

    Super Swede - http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/napol.../epk/index.php

    Pedro Sanchez, a high school student in Preston, Idaho, one day decides to run for student body president. The "vote for Pedro" comes from the movie Napoleon Dynamite. It's become a cult classic here in the states.

    As you might not know, I live in Idaho just a few miles from the location of the movie site. So I am the authority on all thing Napoleon.

    If you haven't seen the movie DO. It has become a cult classic much like "Little Shop Of Horrors" and the like.

    The sad thing though...I'm surrounded by thousands of people just like the ones portrayed in the movie. Feels good to know that I'm cooler than somebody at least.
