BS: Making payments on an outdated taatoo

Subject: BS: Repossession of inaccurate taatoo
From: wilco

I have twelve more paymenys left on a tattoo, a tri-color portrait of Uncle Dave Macon. It shows him with a resonator banjo, which is historically inaccurate. The collection agency is threatening him with re-possession. How is this accomplished?

Surgically

Surgery is not necessary, they merely cover the tattoo with an offset black square. That way everybody can see you've been black-listed.

Really now, Liz the Squeak!! Anyone who wants can have a pound of flesh. But not one drop of blood.

It all depends on where, anatomically, the tattoo is located.

What?

I have never been to a tattoo artist who did not expect full payment at time of service.

Tattoo a beard on him and call it ZZ Top.

Actually, I think I've seen a picture of Uncle Dave with a resonator -he wasn't shy about being heard!

"Uncle" Dave M. did play a banjos with resonators as well as ones without.
