Well, she said my rendition of Feelings was a bit on the blah side. So I said, if I wanted your opinion I'd have asked. So she said, hey I'm the one who paid for your guitar. So I said, stick it up your nose!

At least, I could of sworn I said your nose...I'm just glad I didn't say stick it up your a$$.
