I am turning 40 on May 5th. I have always been a drummer, but i play guitar quite well! And bass, and ...others!! On the first birthday I had after my wife and I wed about 6 years ago, she suprized with a Fernandez Revolver. I loved that guitar!! Still love it! Sits right next to my American Ivory Strat.

Now I hinted to her what I wanted for my birthday was a Les Paul. (told her it didn't need to be an actual Gibson as I never play guitar on stage.) Then I told her the other wish, that I have had since I was 10, is to go in the water with Great White Sharks!!!!

Well, I called today to book the boat for the shark dive and she confides that she's already bought the guitar! It's solid black with pearl inlays and ALL gold hardware! Remember, it's an Epiphone. The price of the guitar is the same for the shark dive.

Do I take the guitar and miss the shark dive, or do the shark dive and lose out on the Les Paul????

Which would you big balled guitarist choose? An adventure that would be remembered for a lifetime, or a treasure you can use for a lifetime??

(I skydived and that was an experience I wouldn't trade for anything, so bear that in mind.)

Do the shark. At the rate the asians are killing them round the world they are already an endangered species, some scientist are already predicting they will become extinct.
Shark dives get your pulse going, We don't have great whites in the tropics but the local ones still give a thrill, a great white would be the ultimate.

Fuck that! A guitar won't eat you, and have you ever tried to tune a great white?

My birthday is also Cinco DeMayo, Señor!

I will turn 36 this very year!

Ci! They throw a party for us on Alvorado street every year! One day a year I am Spanish, even though I am really German! I drink the Carona's until I am sick! Although I will be playing golf this year at Palm Springs and gambling at an Indian Casino! You should come and have some good beer with us!! And some tequila!!!

Shark dive will be in October! I have tried to tuna piano, but not a fish!

Shark's are very misunderstood creatures!!

Remember to evacuate your bowels BEFORE you leave the boat, murky water ruins good shots.
 
:confused: Are you mental?

Take the guitar, then go for a swim for free in the ocean, when ya know the sharks are lurking.

Of course, the Les Paul will be of no use when ya only have one arm to play it with! :eek:
 
The Shark! Come on man, how fuckin cool is that? Are you gonna turn 40 and say "wheww, I got an epiphone" or "I am one bad fkn 40 year old shark swimmin with son of a......."? Well?

BTW, I'm a guitar player and love getting new guitars but come on man.......swimmin with a shark would rock.
 
I'd do the shark thing if they guarantee the shark will try to eat you through the cage. Otherwise, you could take the guitar and go see Great White. Trade your wetsuit for a firesuit.
 
Epiphone is crap these days, I would go on the adventure.
 
You take the guitar because you wife will hate you for the rest of your life if you tell her to take it back.

Morongo?

Gambling and drinking is a favorite pass-time of mine.
 
I bet having a epiphone les paul would not even come close to the thrill of being a few inches away from great whites...i say the sharks all the way

Well thank you Mr. Greenpeace for that heart touching moment. But I do agree with you about swimming with the sharks rather than getting the guitar. Besides PhilGood you're almost over the hill so you better live it up while your joints are still good :) I too have done some skydiving (3 jumps) some 15 years ago and am glad I did because I really don't think I'd do that now? Live it up!
 
Take the guitar, and see if you can find some reruns of Sea Hunt on the TV! :D

...and that, too! :D
 
Gritzer trip: An hour or so of pure adrenaline, IF wild sharks happen to approach.

Guitar: I don't need to tell anyone besides the dj's what a guitar can do for you.
 
Your wife bought you a guitar.....and you still have to ask this question??

Do you want to have another 6 years?

If you dont know the right answer.......
 
I can't believe you even had to ask the question!!!

Take the guitar man!!!! :D

What if your arm or a hand is eaten? You will not be able to play the guitar anymore. So now, you will have had a horrible shark experience AND no reason to keep any of your other guitars anymore!!! Have you really thought this through? Really thought??? :confused:

Plus, you have hurt the one person whom thinks enough of you, to give you one of the nicest gifts a mate could give ya!! :(

Is a few moments with sharks, who want to eat you, worth that? NO!! Take the guitar man!!! :cool:
 
That's an easy one...

Okay, first, give me your address, PM me or something.
I'll steal the guitar so your wife won't hate you for telling her to take it back, this will also prevent you from having to go without a good sexing for several months...
Then, you can act so hurt and sad that the guitar is gone (maybe others too, you mentioned a fernandes?) that she will gladly let you swim with the delicious tasting sharks just to cheer you up on your birthday. I know it sounds like a lot to go through, but I'm willing to do this for YOU. If you've been married for six years, then you have surely known the wrath and sexlessness of an angry woman, and of course you'll jump at this opportunity to have your cake and eat it too.
So, that is my proposal, I suggest you PM me quickly.
Thank you.
