Toan is stored in the balls

By anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, my Dad's banjo arrived, as part of his mid-life crisis. It would be fine if he could play it but unfortunately he's tone deaf. He hasn't stopped playing it for the last 4 hours. FML

Wait until dad goes to the bathroom, then cut the strings, then run away. When he comes looking act all sorry, even work up a tear or two to show dad how bad you feel that he was sold a defective banjo. Something like this: DAD..."Look what happened to my banjo! Do you know anything about this?" YOU... "No dad. OH MY GOD, what happened? Dad, those bastards sold you a defective banjo (sniff, sniff). I saw a show about the banjo scammers on 60 minutes (small sobbing cry). You had better return that right away. Besides dad, you're wayyy to intelligent and talented to play the banjo. I think a man of your abilities needs to do something cool, like model ship building. You would rock at that!"

Be glad that in his mid-life crisis, he's fingering a banjo and not drunk girls who are your age.

Since when does a mid life crisis include a banjo.

Banjos always remind me of the movie "Deliverance" - Squeal Like a Pig. Squeal Like a Pig! Lol

Only one choice left, break the banjo by "accident".

or just tighten all the strings really tight so that when he goes to tune the banjo, they all snap and it was his fault

Why would he tune it? He doesnt care what it sounds like.

Am I the only one who immediately thought "Deliverance" besides Enslaved? FYL, OP.

No perdix did earlier but I didn't read it until after I already posted. That movie is the reason I refuse to go camping! Oh and I also don't like seeing guys in tightie whities for that same reason. (:

It would not be fine if he could play it. It's still a banjo.

I'm thinking you need to get over it and leave your dad alone. He's trying to learn a new instrument, of course he sounds like crap right now. I'm sure you busted out a wicked Dimebag solo the first time you ever picked up a guitar, right? Let your dad have his fun. Go outside, go hang with your friends(if you can find any), get a job, move out, I don't know, do something other than whining and complaining about the man who helped create you and raise you and provide for you through the course of your life.
