Yeah,

This guy had this car for sale that I wanted and so this is how we met.
He's selling his plumbing business, has a kid in the hopper, two running
wild .....  breaking everything, the house is for sale, he bought a $6300
Trooper his wife hates, and he built his own picnic table.  Now he and his
buddy wants to build a piano.  At first I thought this guy's not for real.
But he was!!  So he persued the conversation with some vitality.  So after
he convinced me he was for real, I asked him what he's going to do for a
plate.  He said, " A plate, what's that??"  and what followed was the usual
about what's the plate for, how thick is it, why does it have to be there,
and so I mentioned at this point the 30 tons of stress across the structure.
I know now that I was about 10 tons off according to the recent posts on
this, but he'll never know the difference.  He said, "30 tons!!  Why so
much??"  Yeah, well, I think I convinced him not to build his own piano, and
I bought his car for $1000 less than he was asking.

VIOLA is voila spelled by a dyslectic, and the PESTO part is the very tasty
nutty (nut case with class) part and the FINE is the Italian musical term
that blends the indicator of the end of the remark with a musical term so
that it looks like I'm musically aligned, slightly skrewed up, and have a
palate for exquisite food all contained in an Italian aire.  OH .....  my
goodness, my communicator just went off, the mother ship is calling me.  I
need to get my connectors cleaned.  This planet's atmosphere is a bit
corrosive.  See ya!
