I heard a fabulous story over Thanksgiving dinner:
My sister in law (fyi -that's my sister's husband's sister, ladeez. No takers on 'ol wheezy yet!) lives in NYC. She has a friend who agreed to dog sit for someone while they went away for a couple weeks. The dog was very old & had been struggling to hang in there for a while now. So yeah, the dog passed away under her watch, poor girl. She calls the owners and explains. They're understandably sad, but knowing the dog's age and health they reassure the girl and apologize for her having to deal with the situation. Having been a family pet since a pup they're very attached to it and would like to have the dog cremated. The girl agrees to take the dog in & pick up it's ashes the following day. NYC & no vehicle = subway time. The dog is medium size, about 50 lbs or so. She wraps the thing up as best she can & puts it in a suitcase with wheels to make the walk to the subway easier.
Getting on the subway a fellow sees her struggling with the suitcase & gives her a hand. He sits next to her & they make small talk. "That's a heavy suitcase, whatcha got in there?" Now me, I'd enjoy saying "a dead dog" just to watch the stranger's reaction. But to her that would just make the conversation with this overly friendly talker more tedious. Instead she thinks quickly & says "computer parts." Arriving at her stop she gets up & proceeds to exit the train. The fellow follows her to the door & offers to help again, but she assures him she's alright with the suitcase. The guy PUNCHES HER IN THE STOMACH and makes off with the suitcase. no shit. I would give anything to see that motherfucker's face when he opened the suitcase!!

SCIENCE COURT!! I like the way you think, son!
Yeah, that's what we guitar amp designer guys call "audiophoolery". Put that one up there with the $1000 wooden volume knob! There was a guy who made a $1500 solid (not stranded) silver guitar cable to go with his $10,000 guitar amp, which was also wired with solid silver wire, chassis milled out of a solid billet of aluminum (turning 95% of that billet into swarf), tea-stained hemp grille cloth, etc. Oddly enough, Mill Hill Audio didn't last very long, hahahahaha!
