Oh, I knew you were joking, but you might be right. lol
I hope they all know we're kidding.
You know, there was this dude in high school that made it his personal agenda to--at least once a day--tell me that Clapton had died.
It would be before 1st period, and I'd be walking down the hall (possibly clutching my copy of Clapton's biography "Crossroads" by Michael Schumacher), and I would hear--from all the way down the hall--"DUDE!!! Jay!!! Did you see the news? Clapton died last night!!!! It's crazy."
Of course, I had to defend the fact that Eric was still with us lol. It would go back and forth for a few minutes.
Oh, and there were the times that my friends insisted on trying to convince me that my Tele was a re-labeled Mexican--not an Am. Std. at all...

Jealousy... psh.
I hope we're not "that guy" lol.
