So a few weeks ago I go to the Guitar Center website and look up the EH Big Muff π, the site says they have 4 in stock. I go to the store and the “guitar guy” looks it up on the computer and says “nope that’s wrong, we don’t have any in stock.” A week later I look on the website and it says they have four in stock. I go to the store again and a different “guitar guy” looks it up and says “no, we don’t have any in stock, the website must be wrong.”
Today I look on the website and it still says they still have four in stock, so I call. The “guitar guys” are busy and I get the “drummer guy” and I explain that their website shows that they have some Big Muff π’s in stock but that I need verification because of my two previous visits. He looks it up and says “no prob man, we have four of them.”
I head down to the store and ask the “guitar guy” for a Big Muff π and he says “nope, nothing in stock we haven’t had any for weeks.” I calmly explain that their “drummer guy” just told me on the phone that they were in stock. He laughs and says “yeah, that’s ‘cause he’s a drummer.” On a whim (out of frustration) I ask what other Big Muffs they have in stock, thinking that they may have a Little Big Muff. He looks up on the computer and says “we have four Big Muffs.” Four? Aha! FOUR?! A little light bulb goes on over my head and I ask to see one. He pulls one out and Lo And Behold, it’s the Big Muff π that I have been looking for all along. I exclaim “That’s it, that’s a Big Muff π! The guy looks all bewildered and says “Is that what that little symbol means?”
All this time the Guitar Center “guitar guys” had been looking up “Big Muff PIE” instead of “Big Muff π” on their computers because they didn’t know what the symbol for fucking Pi was! To put the cherry on top, the “drummer guy” ended being smarter than the “guitar guys.”
