Tuning Stamina/massage (OT)

[Farrell]

Well written William. I, for one have a very high threshold of tolerance for
off-color jokes, etc. (please send me lots - privately). Your point is well
taken though, as there will always be some well meaning sort that is
offended in a public forum such as this when anything even slightly
off-color is posted. I was once at a piano function (no names here) where
the organizer of the seminar was at the podium with all in attendance and
was telling blind tuner jokes - I won't go into detail here, just use your
imagination. There were lots of women in the audience and even one that
followed the Mormon religion. No doubt at all she and most of the others
were offended. Even though just me, personally rather enjoyed them, I felt
very uneasy with the situation and really felt quite embarrassed for the
off-color speaker. Let's avoid that here.

Well put, and sensitively put William. I will also try my best to stick to
the subject of pianos.
