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

*twang* *twang* Wow! I'm really good at this!

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!"

He's from Australia you asshat. Way to be a stereotyping pile of shit.

Delivernace (i don't know how to spell it ;P)

I feel your pain. My dad got an electric guitar. With an amp.

He's from WESTERN Australia. Doublefail. No, triplefail - reading and comprehension is IMPORTANT.

(?°?°??? ???) flip his table

Let your old pops have some fun, put some headsets with some music on and forget about it while he's enjoying it. How much can you ask of him?

That is a terrible midlife crysis. Just get him to start banging a few of your friends in stead. I will be better got everyone.

as a musician I can say that it's unlikely he is completely tone deaf (because that's actually quite rare) and if he keeps practicing his ear will tune itself and he will get better. He might never become perfect, I've been playing several years and I still take quite a few minutes to tune an instrument, but he will get better. Not everyone is Mozart, people are usually shit the first time they play an instrument.

Try helping your dad instead of whining on FML. He's going through a crisis.
