[CAUT] well- I finally *really* did it.

[Phil Romano]

I recently had the joy of being two thirds through tuning the D on the
main auditorium stage when the custodian came in with an electric leaf
blower, inserted ear plugs (for him - not me) and began blowing the
trash from under the seats toward the stage. When I finally was able to
get his attention (not easy to do), he remarked - "Oh, is this bothering
you?"

Madame Librarian,

Your post made me laugh out loud and remember the time I smiled sweetly
at 
the custodian (who was whistling while I was tuning) and paused to say, 
"I've been known to rip the lips off of people who whistle while I 
tune......"    He stopped!   :-)
