This video link was posted on another forum I frequent. Had me in stitches. I hope it gets a laugh out of you as well.

On one of his videos he shows how to restring a Yamaha acoustic and actually seats the string ball on the end of the bridge pin.

To be stupid is like to be dead. Oneself will not be aware of it.
It's only the others who suffer.
