I was talking on the phone to a friend of mine today. I don't quite remember how we got around to the subject, but we began to discuss my supposedly stolen guitars. I say supposedly because I do not for one second believe that to be true. It is far more likely that a certain person who I shall not name sold them for some extra cash when his unemployment checks ran out or destroyed them in a fit of rage (directed at me, of course). But no matter what really happened to them, I told my friend that I believed that a certain estranged spouse of mine should be responsible for their replcement i.e. buying me that Fender 12-string. She agreed with me 100%! This set the conversation going in a whole new and interesting direction. We decided that we would probably both be better off if our respective spouses, hers current, mine not quite ex, were dead! Allow me to explain...
First of all, as his widow, I would be able to collect that worthless bum's vested pension from that job he USED to have. That would be a big improvement over the child support that I am NOT getting! Secondly, I would get that nice car of his. This would relieve me of the need to get my old junker fixed and free the funds for the purchase of that lovely Fender 12-string. Who knows, I might even have enough money to make that trip to Germany. Heheheh! Were I able to find Matthias Jabs over there, I wouldn't need to buy it. I could just play his. But then, as my friend so nicely pointed out, it probably wouldn't be guitar strings that I'd be stumming!
Such a nice little fantasy.'Tis a shame that the SOB will probably outlive me just out of spite!
