That's because you ain't been married long enough. My wife says I'm
deaf.

Now THAT'S funny!

If he's deaf then how does he know what his wife is saying?

It's the spousal partial deafness thing. They can't hear a word
you're saying loudly and clearly when they're channel flipping for
sports, but if you look out the window and say quietly, "I can't
believe she'd wear just that tight blouse and little skirt in this
weather." they'll often be temporarily cured. Until they look out
the window themselves and see you're talking about an 8 year old.

Much more effective in the long run. Sort of a mall virus equivalent of a
multi-drug cocktail.......a kind of integrated pest management approach. As
repulsive as a single high tone is and as toxic as Boone may be, the nasty
little beasts soon develop an immunity. But a constant bombardment with an
ever shifting witches brew of Beethoven, Dvorak, Mahler, Mozart, Stravinsky,
Verdi, et al, delivered by phalanxes of violins, oboes and heavily armored
coloraturas........well, the mere thought of the ensuing carnage makes even
my skin crawl.

Indian Joe smiles and offers--well Wolfgang don"t guess you will be
standing in line for tickets to opening production this season at newly
remodeled La Scala. Best seats were $1300 but quickly sold out.

There is another Wolfgang who was a pretty darn good composer in his time
1754-1791.
I just heard a live performance of the concerto for violoncello in B minor,
Op. 104 by Antonin Dvorak this past weekend. Oh well, guess I'm one of the
few here who enjoys listening to classical music.

There are probably more than you think. Personally, I'm a big
fan......um.....except for the opera part......well, and a lot of the stuff
that followed, and all too often was inspired by, Le Sacre du Printemps.


Wolfgang
who, nevertheless, finds it impossible to stay awake in a comfortable seat
in a dark concert hall through an entire performance.

Seems like it'd be easier to just close down all the ****ing
malls...well, OK, not exactly "easier," but certainly
better..."Abercrombie and Fitch," my ass...

Well for me, it didn't happen overnight, and just as a good fly-casting
stroke, or to acquire the taste of fine red wines, or the ear to appreciate
classical music, these all take years to develop. I'll never call myself an
expert at either one, but I'm sure enjoying life as time passes.
