Mail order surprise

[MichelD]

Came home from my stress test at the cardiology clinic and my wife says "look in the living room - Santa Claus brought you something." So I look and it's a big cardboard box. She says it's from our son-in law. So I open it and it's a freaking brand new sunburst Fender Jazz Bass. Now that just about gave me a heart attack!

Nice! Congrats.

 

[jd56hawk]

That's what I call a good surprise, despite the shock!

 

[MichelD]

It's super! My son in law also likes to pour the beer back, play guitar and jam too!

He's a very good drummer and owns a warehouse full of of PA gear too. He's in the PA biz.

Sounds like a great son in law. Those can be kinda rare.

I'd say that both your son in law and the bass are keepers.

 

[MichelD]

Ticker's fine! So's the bass.

 

[BAG]

You lucky bugger!

 

[RobTheRiot]

Great story, great surprise.

You must be a pretty OK Father-In-Law to get a gift like that.

Enjoy it in good health!!

Sounds like a good day a new Jazz and a good report on the ticker enjoy.

Your son-in-law has set a high bar for other sons-in-law.
