Why, vriendelijke groeten to you, too, Dutch pal.

In a better world, where everything works, with only about an hour's work 
the action gets nice and mellow and quiet, for several years, and the happy 
piano tech has to live with a reputation as a miracle worker ... in a world 
sadly resembling our own, someone spills the vodka, some leathers are 
ruined, some cloth gets too wet and comes off, the rest don't get enough 
vodka and still clamor for more whenever the piano is played, and then 
someone comes in who smells the alcohol and accuses the hapless piano tuner 
of drinking on the job. She or he tells the tuner's spouse, who divorces 
him or her ... etc. (The "worst case scenario" <grin>)
