Senate President Pro Tempore Don Harmon expresses his frustration: “Gosh freaking darn!! I knew I should have gone to Guitar Center instead of Target!!”
Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
And all this time I thought it was United Airlines that hated guitars.
