How about showing up for a tuning where the slightly bemused wife says, "I 
guess my husband forgot to tell me he was having the piano tuned."  Tune 
piano, continue on the day.

Return home to find a message from the client you (thought) you tuned for 
that morning wondering where you were?  And, oh, by the way, did we give you 
our new address?  Kept both clients, BTW.

Interesting job,
