Music Man......
The two ladies working in the charity shop were behind the counter, passing the time quietly, slowly re-arranging the bits and bobs by the till and looking at their watches now and again, no doubt wishing that the final half hour would soon be over, and as it was late in the afternoon I was the only customer. After a few minutes of silence, one said to the other 'and of course then he whipped out his balalaika..' to which her companion said 'are you sure it wasn't his ukelele?'......'Oh no' said lady number one, 'It's all in the size you see'.........

I always fancied a mouth organ myself.
Tho' maybe it was an oud...
Indeed it is, Libs
Or was it a banjo?
Strumpet. I mean trumpets
Hmm....so that`s where I`ve been going wrong all the while....couldn`t tell the balalaikas from the ukeleles!Thanks for the laugh, Libs. That Steve`s a one, isn`t he?!!
Don't believe Steve - he's a lyre!
Oud, gourds and ukeleles, that's where I went so horribly wrong...
Balalaikas, ukeleles - how very exotic. What's wrong with a comb and some foil?
It was a very 'Victoria Wood' moment......and does size really matter? as long as you know how to play it I suspect not...
Pffft I'm getting old. I thought she said balaclava
That would be entirely different....
