21 Problems All Guitarists Share

13. Everyone Makes Mafia Jokes Despite It Being The Wrong Instrument

You carry a big case and suddenly you€™re clearly carrying a Tommy gun around. Except it€™s a really really enormous Tommy gun. Like, seriously. Have you ever seen a gun that big? Maybe a bazooka in a €˜90s action movie? And yet, the jokes will come thick and fast, despite the fact that it€™s clearly a guitar (the first clue was probably the Led Zeppelin stickers all over the case). There€™s nothing intrinsically wrong with this joke, apart from the fact that it is literally wrong and a pretty awful dad-joke. Like many things, its annoyance stems from repetition, so next time you feel the urge to make a terrible joke about a guitar case, maybe keep schtum, just in case you get a thwack over the head

Fan of Taylor Swift and the Dead Kennedys (a duet I can only dream of). I like dystopias, slasher films, and video games that make me feel things.
