This same logic often finds it's way into relationships where one person is a guitar player, lol.
Wife / girlfriend: "Honey, how many fkg guitars do you really need? 25? 40? Really?"
Husband / boyfriend: "But, every guitar has it's own unique properties...tone (pickups), feel (neck contour and setup), aesthetic, purpose....I do really need a 2 teles, 4 strats, at least 3 les pauls, an sg, semi-hollowbody, 4 acoustics and a mandolin, a 5 string bass, travel guitar, Fender, Squier, Gibson, Epiphone, Ibanez, Suhr, Gretsch...oh, and you didn't mention pedals and amps....I really love you honey..."
