GUITAR VS WOMAN
You can play it any time of the month. They don't whine, unless you want them to. They don't care how many other guitars you've played. They don't care if you buy guitar magazines. You'll never be the new Father of a guitar. If it's flat you can fix it. It won't care if you leave the toilet seat up. If you have an argument you don't have to apologize before playing it again. Your parents won't stay in touch with it after you dump it. You don't have to shower before playing it. If it doesn't look good you can refinish it. You can play it the first time you meet it and never take it to dinner or meet its mother. The only protection you need is a pick. If you decide to part with it you don't have to give up half of everything you own.

PS To my wife, just kidding.
