Jokes of and about audiophiles

We mostly take us very seriously. Being passionate about something is an earnest undertaking. Why not some comic relief then? I just wonder, if there are any audiophile jokes in existence, like say, those about viola players amongst musicians. Jokes about, against, from audiophilia? If not, how about some creative writing and inventing? We should laugh more, I find and a bit of selfirony can be very relaxing und is hence good for hearing acuity.

Why did the amplifier hum?

Answer: It didn't know the words.

Detlof; thanks for the thread, I enjoyed the humor of all the posts-- gave everybody +1/+1 votes-- except Eddie got a +2/+2 for an incredibly funny "take" on our sometimes goofy hobby. Craig

An audiophile was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess".

He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The audiophile took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the audiophile took the
frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The audiophile said, "Look I'm an audiophile. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."

YOU MAY BE AN AUDIOPHILE…
If you introduce your wife as "My Wife Aacceptance Factor"
If your Christmas Wish List costs more than the GNP of a small country
If you can name 6 brands of turntables
If your speakers can be mistaken for the Monolith in "2001"
If your idea of a "good read" is the Audio Advisor Catalog
If your favorite movie is "High Fidelity"
If you have used Blu Tack and duct tape for something other than tacking paper and taping ducts
If you window shop at Radio Shack
If your ideal evening consists of listening to 3 seconds of each CD looking for the best "demo track"
If you drive a car with an "I'd rather be listening to my audio system" license frame
If you have ever taken the back off your TV just to check out the "build quality"
