Answer a Question with a Question...

[SetWave]

Can those strings be tuned?

 

[Patch]

If there is an "adjusting screw" that can be used to tune our memory strings, would you please tell me where to find it?

 

[Kaila]

Is that how violins and violas remember and are able to play those long complex pieces?

 

[Tish]

But what if those strings break?

 

[Kaila]

Could we find string at the Flea Market?

 

[StarSong]

If not at the flea market, surely at Target or Walmart, wouldn't you think?

 

[Kaila]

If not at Target or Walmart, then surely at E-Bay or Amazon?

 

[Patch]

Would you pay for express shipping if you order string online?

 

[Tish]

Of course, wouldn't you?

 

[Kaila]

Is it charged per string?

I dont really want to pay for a full pack, or for its shipping charge, if I don't use ALL of the strings;
Would you?

 

[StarSong]

If they were memory strings, wouldn't you want to have the full package?

 

[Kaila]

Could they offer different packages, each of a specific category?
Sort of like cable TV channels do, so that we could have the option of ordering just our favorite subject areas, and hopefully saving some cash as well?

 

[Tish]

Does that not defeat the purpose?

 

[Kaila]

Maybe it does
You realized that I hadn't even considered the purpose?

 

[Patch]

Can a string not have many purposes?

 

[StarSong]

Wasn't string used much more when we were kids than it is now?

 

[Tish]

It sure was, why do you think it has become useless?

 

[Kaila]

Is it that People don't tie items together any more?

 

[StarSong]

Do you suppose it's because we use more bags, tape and boxes that close securely?

 

[Kaila]

Yes I do remember we used to tie boxed packages extra securely, with string, whether or not they had ANY tape, and the string was nice to carry them, as well.
Doesn't it seem like they put cement on those tapes now?

 

[SetWave]

Isn't good strong adhesive tape the best for sealing boxes?

 

[Kaila]

Yes but wasn't it a fun craft activity,
tying boxed packages up, round and round, and criss-crossed, and pulling tight and knotting,
as if a live monster would be trying to escape from inside them,
for the entire trip, short or long?

 

[Tish]

But, was it fun for the monster?

 

[Kaila]

I don't know; Did anyone here ask one?

 

[Patch]

Would you want me to ask one, since Frankenstein is sitting across the room from me?
