So, he lied about knowing how to play the violin.

Does he give you two sob stories to go with the music?

Trade in the bow for a bowsaw

If he wants to play that violin again, he better start telling the truth

The kids got wood for brains. Go under yer nose ya dang idgit!

Love the look on Jiminey Cricket’s face…

I guess his music does not have the ring of truth about it.

Fiddle sticks

bow down

Lying often has unforeseen consequences.

He might claim he was just fiddling with the facts a bit, but the nose knows he was straight-faced lying.

That’s one way to start a fire.

It doesn’t matter, he’s got no strings.

Perhaps if he fine tunes his story.

Not to be nosy, but it’s rumored a large proboscis is indicative of being well endowed, is that true?

He needs to take up the musical saw.

A little drilling will allow for playing violin accompanied by nose flute.

OK, rosin-up your nose!
