Dammit Art, everytime you respond to someone I feel this gnawing need to respond to you. I guess that's your natural charisma at work.

Don't you know you're not supposed to argue with your wife, and if you must..then you're supposed to have a Kent, Stella (post 1955), or Framus hanging on the wall next to the TV, for that very purpose. If you prefer that the guitar (rather than the TV, survives) keep an Ovation handy.
