<WBR>"On the 2nd day of December, a piano came to me, with 2 hammers missing, and a cracked plate and couple stuck keys." When you get to 6: "A piano came to me, (painted shut) with 6 coats of paint, then 5...........4..........," etc. I have really HAD a tuning with a piano painted shut with 6 coats of different colors! The maid had to pry it open with a screw driver so I could tune it. And it was 200 cents flat, AND 2 keys didn't even have hammers. <br>

Chirp in, we can probably come up with some pretty funny stuff ! <br>
