CSotD: Maybe if you add a “T” to the 3rd Symphony …

The idea of an intellectual roofer is well within the framework of Frazz, which is, after all, about an intellectual janitor, though I think pounding nails* to Beethoven seems a bit unlikely. Gilbert & Sullivan, more likely, but only complete recordings with all the dialogue, not those cheesy "highlight" recordings.
Given the current weather on the East Coast, I'm glad I only have to deal with the clang and clatter of truck deliveries at the post office through the backyard, and the people who think 8 a.m. is late enough to start up the power mowers, because there's certainly no closing of windows this week. A week of hearing heavy metal blast from a nearby rooftop would about drive me crazy right now.
Though it wouldn't be as bad as spending the week up on that roof myself. It certainly wouldn't matter if your music were cool.
* Usage note: "Pounding nails" is like "dialing the phone." You don't pound nails anymore, you squeeze them. But I don't think anyone is ever going to talk about "squeezing nails" for a living.
