Wink stealing one..lol

#3 - 'Up, Up and away' .. that old R&B song also used in an Airline commercial in the 70s/80s.

#4 - 'Police suspect the body was dumped further up river'. 'Loose lips sink ships'!

#1 - 'Arnold, it's not polite to point'.

#2 - 'It takes two to Tango' (I didn't hear any music, did you?)

Ok, ok.. I stoled 4.. I just can't stay silent and let 'Little Richard' get all the attention here..

Size? Like plywood I am very compressed...
"I get that shrinking feeling, whenever Ken is near."

Default Ok, I'm new so I'll give it a shot.

1: Welcome to Royal Cruise Lines! We hope your appointment as a bassist is a successful one! We do have a few rules in the (unlikely) event we strike an iceberg. Here are Arnold and Ken to demonstrate!

2: Rather than standing around like an idiot playing Beethoven while the ship is sinking, think of your instrument as a flotation device! Note: If the second violinist is attractive, get her help in priming the instrument on it's conversion!

3. Gently remove the neck as you can use it to club passengers (and band mates!) who may want to use the bass itself to save their own lives. While you're at it, remember that a violin or viola can make an excellent paddle! Now gently toss the bass into the warm waters of the North Atlantic!

4. Gaze in wonder as your fine crafted instrument has become your personal life raft! But don't worry. Such things never will happen. Enjoy your time on the H.M.S. Titanic!

#1) Arnold, "Ken, you have always told me that there is money in basses.

You gave me this instrument and I have spent hours taking it apart. I haven't found a cent!"


#2) Ken: "So give it back! It may be an unattributed Calzolaio."

Arnold: "No, it's mine, now!"

A tussle ensues...


#3) In the melee, the carcass slips...

Arnold and Ken (unison), "Oops."

Ken, "Now you've done it. Nobody's going to make any money on this one."
(exits)


#4) Arnold (sighing), "Ah... the council of friends.

How can I recoup my labor costs? Hmm... 2 shop hours for disassembly, 1/4 hour of fighting with Ken, 1/2 hour of travel time..."
