Two wongs don't make a....well, you know. Paul In a message dated 7/14/2010 4:07:31 A.M.

A couple of days later I got a call from a lady who also wanted an estimate on restring a grand piano. Her name was Connie Wong. When I got her message, I told my wife, "Doesn't that couple talk to each other?" Well it turned out that Gerald Wong lives on one side of Oahu, and Connie Wong lives other side, so they aren't man and wife. Beside, Gerald has Knabe grand, and Connie has a Hazelton. So yesterday I saw Connie, and she introduced me to her husband. Would you believe his name is Gerald. Well, today I saw Gerald Wong. Guess what. Would you beleive that his wife's name is Connie. What's more, both Gerald's are Chines, and both Connie's are Caucasians. Now, as weird as this sound, you have to know that Wong is about as common as Smith or Jones. But that two couple, both name Connie and Gerald Wong, had grand pianos that needed to be restrung. Now that's totaly weird. Wim PS, As it wound up, the Hazelton just a had a few strings missing, but I am putting on new hammers. But the Knabe needs new string, and the action regulated. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
