(Barenaked Ladies, hum along) A fellow I know bought his daughter the mandoline I was building. He asked If I made anything doing this and I told him I was lucky to cover expenses and invest in tools. Reminded him of a story. A knife maker was being interviewed. Fairly successful guy. He was asked if he won a million dollars, what would he do? "Well, I'd keep making knives until the money ran out" Sounds familiar. Mike |

Yeah, in other words - "I'd mind my own business". |

If you had a million dollars, you could buy a fur coat. But not a real one, ‘cause that’s cruel. |

Tips, ha! What about us poor fools who buy expensive guitars (and mandolins) and just play them for free at church? If I had a million bucks I'd buy a better octave mandolin, then probably play it at church for free... |
