A friend of mine was clearing out the house of an elderly relative recently when he came across a dusty old painting and a slightly tatty guitar.
He was just going to sling them in the skip but his wife insisted that he hold on to them and take them to a local antiques dealer in case they were worth anything. Later that day he took the two items to a local antiques store and the dealer (apparently) seemed quite impressed:
"Well" he said "the good news is that you've found an original Rembrandt and an early Gibson."
"So what's the bad news?" my friend asked.
"Well.....Gibson was a lousy painter and Rembrandt didn't know one end of a guitar from the other!" replied the dealer.
:P
Rumour has it that if you play Microsoft CDs backwards you will hear Satanic messages.
Worse still, is that if you play them forwards they will install Windows.
ROFLMAO!!!! :D

Rembrandt didn't know one end of a guitar from the other!" replied the dealer.
Neither did Picasso:

A buddy of mine plays lead guitar in a 1980s cover band (One Louder).
Several years back, a neighbor stopped him on the street and said something like, "You play guitar, right? I've got an old guitar in my closet that my [young relative] left here. I'll let you have it for $25 if you'd like it."
Out comes a bass, spray-painted silver. All of it... Body, neck, fretboard...
So he hands over the money and takes the thing to a luthier who charges him a couple hundred $$ to restore the thing. Bottom line:
it was (is) a 1950s Fender Precision.
