Rottweiler in Piano

[Farrell]

"> Let's face it he would have to know if it was a grand or upright."

Wow John, you must have a pretty high level clientele! I run across a number
of folks that don't know whether they have a grand or a vertical piano. I
often have to do the "does it go up against the wall?" thing. 'Course, we
don't count very well down here in this heck of the woods either!

Oh, and with regard to the Rottweiler story. Sounds like I was set up. Ya
know, I have to admit that I was party (not the instigater, but I did
nothing to stop it) to a similar caper when I was in high school - the old
order pizza to a "friend" thing. I have often felt kinda bad about that ever
since - and had certainly not forgotten it. They say "what goes around comes
around". Perhaps mine came around today! Hard for me to get very upset.  :-)
