Non Audiophiles are funny people

Hey, Albert, wait til you give the guy a demo and he says, "Dude! That's almost as hot as my cuzzin Bubba's Bose system."

(Bishop entertains visions of Albert hanging the visitor from the yardarm of his private power pole....)

Come on all you maggy owners, you have to have good NA stories. I have a pair and anyone seeing them for the first time comments on the nice "room-dividers" I have. Then they ask what's up with those wires or why do you have them placed where they are. I usually tell them that the wires are for the LED lights inside and placement is for the night time ambiance of the light show. My wife really gets upset with me and lets the cat out of the bag. Most NA people still believe my story over hers until we turn the system on. I'm laughing just thinking of this while I'm typing.
Okay, who's next!

When my dad saw Kimber 8TC cables he asked me what kind of sausages is that and if I couldn't get some simplier speaker wires.
Well, I finally got realy not a cable but simple Van Den Hul wires for my speakers as my dad mentioned.

I befriended a local computer tech who is also a musician like myself. He is into pro audio and so I thought we had some common ground. He came over to set up my network and asked to hear my system (CJ & Theta). He was impressed to the point where he said "Those speakers (Silverline Sonatas) sound as good as my powered Mackies." I took it as a compliment.

some kids broke into our house long ago (I have double cylinder locks now) & were gonna steal a portable handheld cassette player, but they must have left in a hurry because we found the player sitting by the back door all ready to go. They did get my coin-bank siting on the dresser but nothing else was missing. They passed on the $50K audio rig thankfully!
When the cops came out to take the report, one of them couldn't take his eyes off the equipment & couldn't believe what the thieves had left behind. He kept on whistling his exclamations & saying "Wow, Oh my gawd, I just can't believe THAT's still here" etc. It *was* pretty funny...
