I remember a hi-fi salesman suggesting I remove my digital watch when listening because the speaker in the watch would interact (in some sort of negative way?) with the sound coming from the speakers. So maybe start by emptying your pockets and then move on to remove your clothing and see how far you can get before they stop you.

Did that really happen? Because that's hilarious.

Next time I walk into a store I tell them I'm really hairy and I need a speaker with raised highs because my body absorbs too much high frequency.

Yes. I got thrown out after about 15 minutes of pointing out their nonsense.

Yes, that was very much a 'Linn' thing in the early '80s. Apparently, Ivor Tiefenbrun claimed that a telephone in the same room would affect the sound, then went on to claim even a digital watch would!

The '80s were a crap time for proper audio engineering...which is when I started my HiFi business...

We used to play polo on sting-ray bikes armed with croquet mallets and soccer balls in the street. Dangerously fun!

Now I'm laughing even harder! Good grief, if only people like that would apply their "creativity" to more productive uses...

Define capitalism.

The two greatest acts of capitalism I can think of are the exploitation of the worker, first, followed quickly by the exploitation of the consumer.

Fcuk. This is the humor thread, not the existential philosophy or economic theory thread.

It was somewhere on W Broadway back in the early 90s. I don't know how long they lasted but probably closed down and sprung up with a new name somewhere else.

I disagree with your idea of the two greatest acts of capitalism, but I'll let it go as this is the humor thread.

I’m practicing my hyperbole. I thought perhaps the “” emoji would indicate the tongue-in-cheek nature of the statement.
Let’s face it, these aren’t “great” acts I referenced.

Amen, bruddah.
