Phoebe: I have a piano lesson tomorrow. Mom made me practice, but really I just pretended to.
Marigold: How does one "pretend" to practice?
Phoebe: It's easy if you pretend to be really bad at it.
Jack Benny always said you really have to practice in order to play as badly as he does on screen. In fact, Isaac Stern said he was a “fair” violinist: “You always look so good with your violin, Jack. It’s just such a shame you have to play.”
