Sorry, Brad.  You are right.  I think I left a cord plugged into my jokegitter over the weekend and the battery went dead.  Yeah, that's what happened.
Rich, THC (temporarily humor challenged)

With all respect, but in my life my wife is and will always be unique and my very only one. Calling the Alembic my other wife wouldn't do justice to either one. Especially since I feel an Alembic instrument can never be the other one, it will always be THE main one (just not the wife, that is). Funny, do female players call their instruments husbands?
 
In my opinion, Alembic doesn't require any tag line, just the name. Anything else would make it look like a supermarket product.  
 
Just my opinion of course.
 
Hartmut

Just for clarification.
 
Here's the joke behind the my other wife thing:
 
In the US, many people have bumper stickers and license plate frames that are some variation of my other car is a Rolls Royce.
 
There's a standing joke about my wife being a bass guitar.
 
It was meant as a joke.  I never meant to imply that an inanimate object would somehow attain the level of the woman that I married.
 
I'm sorry if this caused anyone any distress; it was just an (apparently poor) attempt at humor.
 
Brad

Brad, sorry we?re making your humorous comments into so much work for you.  I?m more guilty than the rest here.  I can't even blame it on a culture barrier.  Does diminished cerebral function work as a good excuse?
Rich

Brad:
 
I got the joke.  No problem.
 
Bill, tgo

I know this is rude, but all of you who've taken yours to a new gig will know where I'm coming from:
 
Black t-shirt, the logo on the back in gold, and on the front:  ...yeah, dumbass, OLYMPIC!...

Joey,
 
Reminds me of a funny t-shirt I saw recently:
 
I give up-- it's nucular.
 
Brad

Joey,
Well said. I like it.

Kinda off the subject, but bumper sticker-related nevertheless...I saw a good one today:
Save a Horse...ride a Cowboy
 
Valentino

My wife and I saw one last weekend that read:
 
Save a horse - Ride a Fat Guy
 
You should have seen the guy driving the truck...
 
John

Hey--
 
I'm not fat; I'm just big boned*.
 
Brad
 
* this is actually true-- I had an orthopedic surgeon tell me that if I had a normal physiology, I'd have shattered my leg (after an accident; isn't being in the Army fun?!).

One of my all-time favorites:
 
I may be fat, but you're ugly...
...and I can diet!

That calls to mind a famous Winston Churchill quote, replying to a society matron who berated him for being tipsy: Mr.Churchill you are drunk!
To which he answered : And you, madam, are ugly. But tomorrow, I shall be sober.
 
Valentino

The way I heard it was that the society matron said, If I were married to you, I would poison your food.  
 
To which he replied, If I were your husband, I would eat it.

Reverend - Oh, ye sinners and fornicators!  Repent!  Repent!  Lest come the day of judgement, there will be a great weeping and wailing and a gnashing of teeth!
 
Old Woman - Reverend, I have no teeth.
 
Reverend - In your case, madam, teeth shall be provided!
