Brother in law fail !!!

[Rabs 1,335]

So my brother in law bought me a guitar related T-Shirt last week... He knows what guitars I like as I talk about it enough (hes not into guitars at all)...

 

And so I was really surprised when he turned up with the shirt as hes never bought me anything like that before

 

 

 

FAIL!!!!!!

 

 

hahaha, no seriously I actually really like it.. and even though I don't own a Fender obviously I have full respect for the "OTHER" big guitar brand :P lol

[Kennis 70]

cool shirt

 

but still, you should buy him a piece of women's clothing in return and see if he takes the hint

[quapman 152]

Simple solution Rabs.

 

Buy a Strat.

[Hall 123]

Hmm. You don't think he ........... . Naw, no way!

[Rabs 1,335]

Haha lol.. yeah.. don't I wish.. I do have a squire, so I could just replace the headstock logo and pretend :P :)

Same thing happened to me but with an office Secret Santa. The person that had me knew i was a guitarist and she got me a Fender T-Shirt which I actually wear quite oftern even though I don't own a fender. Sadly I do not have a gibson shirt. If anyone wants to sene me one however.

Kind of like my mother-in-law. She knows I'm a Gibson player yet last summer she went and gave me a Martin. Oh well.

If my mother in law was like that, I'd still be married !

On the other hand - if I was still married, I wouldn't have 3 LPs and a Strat :(

Haha maybe :)

 

Either way as you say its a good win

You need a Fender, feels good in your hands. Love my Les Paul, but love my Fender also. Nice shirt

your B.I.L. buys you stuff???

 

wow...... :unsure:

 

27+ yrs w/my current Mrs.....and my BIL & I haven't bought each other ANYTHING yet.......

 

best thing he ever did for me was move out of our home, owing $400 back rent (never seen a dime of it), and telling his parents the lie that i'd tried to force him to abuse drugs as the reason he moved out.(my Mrs. kicked him out when she walked into our bathroom & caught him w/a syringe in his leg). that was 24 yrs ago. He's still a waste of air.

Is the whole thing a gigantic misunderstanding?

 

Fender is a UK synonym for Bumper

 

So is this actually a lady's T shirt?

 

Pardon my levity... <_<

Well I actually thought Fender was an American word? We do usually use the word bumper.

 

But even if that was the case I would put car stuff more with men than women :)

 

Either way I like it so whatever

Lol... id need a job or some sort of income for that :(

Actually Rabs, I believe what they call a fender in the US is what we call a wing or, on a bike, a mud guard. I've often wondered why. It would make sense to call a bumper a fender but it doesn't make sense to call a wing a fender in my book.

 

Ho hum, no sleep lost.

[sgplayers 1]

thanks, you really helped me on something. I was thinking about getting a strat, but now i think ill just buy the t-shirt.

I think we started calling them fenders back when the really old cars had big fenders that came out over the wheels. Now days it doesn't make much sense because the wheel well is doing all the "defending"

 

In America a "wing" on a car is usually a spoiler or "whale tail"

[surfpup 529]

or "whale tail"

 

A term which has its own double meaning!

Yep, that's also a wing here. We like to give 2 completely different things the same name, it makes life more complicated and us Brits don't like things easy.
