Dan's Humbucker The magic word "humbucker" and Japanese poetry on why Dan should wear stronger pants. Wonderjack practice is winding down on an autumn Sunday evening.  The usual band chit-chat begins: "Where are we practicing/gigging next?  Who can't be here next week?  Why am I intoxicated on a Sunday?"  Greg asks an interesting question regarding guitar pickups, and Professor Dan Roche sits on the couch to expound upon the subtle differences between single coils and humbuckers.  Earlier, Dan had selflessly helped a friend build a porch (when all he really wanted to do was watch football), and in the process, obtained a rip along the seam of the crotch of his pants.  One could only hope the story would end here . . . After explaining the virtues of single coils, Dan moves on: "Now the humbucker..."  Right at this point, something bad happens.  "How bad?" you ask?  Bad as in Ghostbusters "Don't cross the streams" bad.  Apparently, the hole in Dan's now crotchless pants has expanded, and the secret is out.  In haiku: Dan rests on the couch Whilst speaking, manhood revealed Practice is over.
