It's so interesting to find a joke thread above the line.

I work for a small company that makes folk instruments. I'm so glad that we can lower our prices and get more business! Why didn't we ever think of that? Oh wait, we have beginner instruments that are already very inexpensive, so maybe we already thought of that. We also make expensive instruments -- I think Conrad wants us to start giving them away so we can spread the availability of instruments to those who can't afford them. Of course, if we do that, in less than two months we won't be here at all, and there won't be any more instruments to give away . . .

This IS a joke thread, right?
