Hypothetical

Here's the situation:

You have been given the opportunity to spend a year on a golf course at one hole. You have the entire year to tee off as often as you like in an attempt to make a hole in one. If you succeed in making JUST ONE hole in one, you will receive $10,000,000 per year for the rest of your life.

If you fail, you will face a firing squad at midnight on the last day. You will not survive.

So, what would you do?

Well, if you ever saw me playing golf you would know that I could be on that golf course for the rest of my life and I would NEVER get a hole in one.

I'd opt out of this one.

I'm totally GASing for a white Tune bass. I'll even sell my Ric to get one. The only trouble is I can't find anyone who can import one for me. There's a company called Dot On Shaft Guitars in Ontario that imports them but I'm not comfortable ordering one unseen. They retail for around $1300 and that's just too much to be sending to someone I don't even know for a bass I haven't laid hands on.

Ah well, I'll just have to keep looking.

I've heard of them - they used to (maybe still do) sell a pile of private label guitars dead cheap on eBay.

No one in the Seattle area can get one for you? get one shipped to Barney's house & go pick it up - it's not that far from your place. (You'd need to bribe him with a bottle of sake)

I've been trying to get my hands on one of the Fender '60s Jazz basses but no one stocks them locally.

Yeah, I guess Seattle is probably the best place to try and get one. I'll probably do some research and see if it's possible. Of course the hard part will be getting the idea past the wife. That's why I'd consider selling the Ric. It might be the only way to get another bass without too much anguish. LOL

There's something about the '4 basses' level that seems to be the max that women can accept as rational. Anything 4 or less Debbie seems Ok with. When I express an interest in number 5 her eyes go all funny and she starts talking about how comfy the couch could be for my new sleeping arrangements.

That logic never works with women. I know, I tried it. The answer was 'I need shoes/purses'. I guess that's supposed to be self evident logic. hahahaha

I wish that were the case. I sometimes feel I can't play any of them. :(

That logic doesn't work when it's not a 2 way street ; ) But getting an admission of "I need more shoes" is gold; admit you don't at all understand why but love her & support her desires despite not understanding them. THEN bring in that American Deluxe Jazz Bass. (Helps if the doghouse is big enough to woodshed in ; )

I dunno; to me fair is fair & unfair is unfair. You need shoes, I need basses. You get to have at my basses, I get to have at your shoes.

Keep in mind now that I've had all of my basses longer than all my girlfriends. Probably worth mentioning that before someone "tries this at home" ; )

Ever been in a relationship that WAS a 2 way street? Women talk two way relationship but it's on a one way street. I am finding all this talk about women and logic quite amusing. One would be more likely to find a unicorn than a logical woman. "Logical Woman" there's an oxymoron!!! Now they CAN be logicall, just not in a relationship. They COMPLETELY lack the ability or desire to do so. And yes I've been the fool trying to explain to MANY a woman WHY she was making no sense. An emotionally based being doesn't hear a word of what you're saying. She only understands an emotional responce. So, telling her to go fornicate herself in her mind says that you care. And if she takes your words and actually does go fornicate herself at least she'll be having sex with the only person (save children) who she truly cares about.

Well, I'm off to a gig to find me a woman....LOL!
