Play for yourself a sad song of sympathy on the worlds smallest violin.
You’re feeling pretty sad, considering that you now have no money and no job. So you fish the world’s smallest violin out of your bag and play for yourself a sad song of sympathy. Specifically you play the violin version of "Denial Revisited" (by the Offspring) because it seems strangely appropriate. Soon your playing drawls a crowd. "Hey," says the crowd. "That tiny violin that you’re playing is pretty neat." Or something like that. It’s hard to hear over the cheering and applause. Six months later… Playing the world’s smallest violin in the streets for pocket change sucks. I mean it was cool at first, but now it’s just old. Dejectedly, you make plans to sell the violin to somebody. Anybody. But who?
