A: I’m forming a music band.
B: Do you already know how to play an instrument?
A: Uh... Yeah! I’ve told you a thousand times that I’m learning to play the drums. Now that I know how to play well, I would like to form a rock band.
B: Aside from yourself, who are the other members of the band?
A: We have a guy who plays guitar, and another who plays bass. Although we still haven’t found anyone to be our singer. You told me that you had some musical talent, right?
B: Yes, I’m a singer.
A: Perfect. So you can audition this weekend here at my house.
B: Great! Wait here? You don’t have enough room for the amplifiers, microphones or even your drums! By the way where do you keep them or practice?
A: Dude? What are you talking about? It’s right here! All we need is my Nintendo Wii and we are set!
