First heard from either Blossom or the Bishop of Shinners Rats:

"Listen sonny, I'm a professional, just like your Mother"

I think it was Blossom (with a handful of socks stuffed down his underpants), at the Tramshed in Woolwich, some time in the mid eighties, when they were taking part in a 'Battle of the Bands' as Kohlers Apes, and it was said to a particularly large skinhead who had taken the piss when Blossom picked up a guitar. For a moment the whole place went quiet before dissolving into laughter. Rumour has it that, for one moment, Blossom thought he'd gone too far - as if!
It was the same night that a couple of army musicians from Woolwich Barracks had gasped in astonishment "That's a twelve bar blues! These blokes can actually play!"
