Boy, real life surely is stranger (and funnier) than fiction.

Why use three syllables when five will do the job?
Not a Guild guy, but some of you are probably familiar with his eponymous Gibson model, but may not know that in 1958 he went into semi-retirement and returned to his original job as a sign painter!

We pass a graveyard daily w The Dog JYMY 
- to think we live in a small city w about 250k people - math made convinient 240k - average death age 60 = 4000 dead every year ( some new babies are born at same time to keep balance - poor babies - what a duty w/o asking them first . . . )
Human body has about 200 bones - some larger - some smaller - 4000 bodies x 200 bones equals 800k new ( old and used, but delicious ) bones , that get buried ( mostly burned before - here ) into ground.
I'm gratefull, that them bones are buried deep enough, that we can pass the graveyard daily w/o our dog JYMY has no clue of what's there.
In old finnish the word for graveyard was "luutarha" = bone garden

Ha! Is that a pun on "Jimmy" or a word that means something in Finnish?
