"This guitar plays better for you than you do for it" Said by yours truly as I handed the instrument back to a student who claimed his guitar was not good enough and that his parents should buy him a newer/better model. When I played it, it seemed to sound fine. Guitars can be fickle that way.

Why do irons have a setting for permanent press?

The are still working on the dehydration and packaging solutions for this.

It’s tough to get the powder to stay in the packets.

Maybe you’re dealing with a prodigy here.

At least they have perfected multiple forms of alcoholic water. I can wait for the powdered water.

It's strange, but the guitar I play sounds worse when I play it than when other people play it. Maybe I need a new guitar.

"Store in a dry place"

Clearly, it is not a match.

Of course it isn't. How can you strum a match? Yeesh.

I think I already gave that? I am impressed with your knowledge!

Ah. Bedankt. I see it now, but it really threw me then.

Yes in theory but I'm not. Oh by the way regarding our (my) existence I recently was handed a bunch of family documents from an aunt (recently died) so I have embarked on tracing the ole family tree. Just signed up to Ancestory. So far lot's of luck back 4 generations (Irish). My new hobby to go along with stamps and razors.
