Puntificating...

Robb Allen asked a guitar question. I know bupkis about guitars, but I can't pass up the chance to make a pun, however long I have to stretch to reach it...
Ummm... Guitars make pretty sounds? That's about the extent of my guitar knowledge. That, and they're made of wood. (You can tell they're made of wood because you can build a bridge out of them.) 
*Ba-dum!*

By the way, it's not too late to give Robb a slightly-belated birthday present. All he wants is for you to go out and do something nice for somebody, just because. Exercise your whimsy!

The bridge is the part of the guitar that raises the strings off the body.

It's also the piece that got Gibson guitars raided by the Justice Dept. IIRC...

gvi,

I haven't left the house yet to select my victim.

JayG,

I was thinking of this, but that works, too.

Ah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?...

I showed it the picture to my Fender guitar, but that was a mistake. My guitar thinks I crave another. No matter how much I tried to comfort it, still my guitar gently weeps.

Could be worse. Sometimes guitars harbor a hostility towards other peoples parents. I've heard that My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama.

Don't fret it.

We could string this out a while, if it strikes a chord with others and Tam isn't picky about it.

Maybe even get a rhythm going, if that isn't too bass (sic) a notion?

Somebody else needs to finger the next one out.

I don't have the strum-ache for it.

"You can tell they're made of wood because you can build a bridge out of them."

Can't you not also make bridges out of stone?
Does wood sink in water?
What also floats in water?

A Duck.

So, logically if the guitar weighs as much as a duck it's made of wood!

And therefore it's a witch!

Speaking of, have you seen the bridge?

I'm tuning this thread out.

Don't fret about it.

I blush. As somebody who both claims to be a Christian and is also an Eagle Scout (Do a good turn) I feel right deficient.

I did try to entice the neighbor's cat to come over and have me scratch her head around the ears. I pointed out to her that we would both feel better after that, but she just yawned, and decided that she needed to lick her girl parts, which she proceeded to do.

I tellya, If you haven't been ignored by a cat, you haven't been seriously and thoroughly ignored.

OMFG everybody between Jay G @1154 and Justthisguy @ 322 needs to go to a quiet room to practice not punning. I'm trying to enjoy my coffee, people, and the groaning is interfering! Sheesh!
