How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle...
We Audiophiles often have a bit of "The Adams Family" about us to other people..especially to neighbors and those who come into contact with us often.Here are some of the most common questions that come up and some suggestions on how to field them.
Q."About that stereo of yours,; "what kind is it?"
A. Looking at your watch, "It's a q
uarter to 5."
Q."How much did it cost?"
A. "I'm not sure.I stole it."
Q."How come my stereo doesn't' sound like that?"
A."You need smarter friends with better advice." "I hear they really kick"is 5 words from hell, if you are really serious about your selections.
Q."Why do you play "Aerosmith" and the "Butthole Surfers"then switch to that "Beethoven"
crap?"
A. "Beethoven was a musician too."He went deaf without any rock music at all.
Q."Why is your furniture differently arranged than everybody else's, all diagonally?"
A."It has to do with the lighting,"or "Thats the way the previous people living here liked it."
Q."Why do you always walk backwards when there is a strong wind coming at you ?"
A."I like to protect my nice face from aging" or "I forgot my ear muffs today."
Q."Why do you play your CD player with the top off and why does the Xmas tree near it always have greenish blue lights."
A.It has to do with the absorption of stray laser..Err it's too long a story."
Q."Why do you have a Xmas tree still up by your CD player?"
A."It's already September..Might as well just keep it up now."
I hope this helps.
