I found this on the net, on a UK site called MAJ Electronics,which specializes in electronic spare parts of guitaristic interest. It's full of fun stuff to read, so I rip this joke off of them:
A STORY FROM ROY SAINSBURY...

I recently played a solo guitar gig for the wedding of a pleasant couple in their 70's. I played outside at first in the sunshine whilst the guests enjoyed drinks and photographs. Having then moved into the indoor room I played the first set ensuring that their request for a "South Pacific" medley was included plus some well tried pleasers like "Albatross". Several people indicated that they were enjoying the music and after a short break off we went for the second set. On these occasions I often have guitar enthusiasts talk to me and I was pleased to see a man striding purposefully towards me. The conversation went like this:

Him: "What guitar is that?
Me: "This is a 1959 Gibson L4c archtop.It was a very good period for Gibson who made some fine instruments at this time.The pickup is a DeArmond model 1100.These were made from the 1950's to 1970's and are now becoming very rare. They are sought after for their warm tone quality and fetch high prices".

Him: "Well it's TOO LOUD"

Yes yes, wedding gig stories.

My favorite, that happened to a band I was in (it really did)--
We were setting up, hadn't even started playing, when a woman approached the stage and said, in
a sit-com correct German accent--
"I am ze mother of ze bride, and you are too loud."
Honestly, we hadn't played a note.
Can't make this s**t up.

We played at our fiddle player's church once years ago; after the service, one old gal talked to him and said "Your drummer needs to tone it down!" He said "Yes Ma'am, I will tell him." He laughed and said he didn't have the heart to tell her that we don't have a drummer. We assumed she was feeling the standup bass notes resonating through the wood floor and pews, LOL.

He/she must not have wanted to learn very badly. Did her friend try long enough to get sore fingertips?

I remember mine being so sore I thought I had done permanent damage, but I also thought if that was the case - It was worth it!

She (her friend) is an absolute joy but is also what I might describe as flighty or capricious, so none of us were very surprised.
