Pig: Neighbor Bob came by and gave us a gift.
Rat: I don't trust that guy. Are there any strings attached?
Pig: No.
Rat: Alright, then. What is it?
Pig: A guitar. It's hard to play.
Many years ago in a “Flintstones” comic book, Barney “invented” a stringless guitar; you could turn it over and play it like bongos, or put rocks in it and play it like a maraca.
Of course it’s hard to play. There are no strings attached. Take it to a tennis racket shop, I live just a few miles from where Les Paul invented his racket maker.
Au contraire, Pig. It should be very easy to play a stringless guitar; it’s much more difficult with strings.Never trust a Neighbor Bob. Neighbor Bobs are born to die….

No, Guitar Bob is a whole different character. Surprised Bob hasn’t been evicted from that pub by now, or at least thrown out by Chalkie and Andy.
