That a some banjos can shatter glass and strip paint! I’ve been trying to do that with my banjo but had to resort to a brick and some paint.

...............Just maybe it's me and not a myth 

Although not a myth..
The best banjo line i have heard was repeated by ...
Mr. Mike Gregory ..
Where it was explained to him...
"It's your banjo kid...play it annah way you want..."

That the banjo will make you a babe magnet.

That we're all inbred.

Practice 10,000 hours, and you’ll be a virtuoso. That’s a lot of work to uncover a myth.

One of my favorite myths, is that a death grip on the neck creates more fret wear. It's actually the opposite.This has been heavily discussed here over the years, with some of the more knowledgeable veterans agreeing that’s it’s actually a lighter touch, that creates more fret wear. The more a string vibrates against the fret, the more fret wear. This includes a light touch, slides, and hammer ons. The harder you grip the string against the fret, the less fret wear.

Banjo players always get the Hot Chicks!!
Slammer!!!

Johnny Carson talking about things you'll never hear,
" That's the banjo player's Porsche."

The banjo came from Africa

Probably from t'other end of the spectrum .... the one that annoys me the most:   Do __________ and it will result in _________ *.

* i.e. no if/ands/buts, or allowance for individual differences.

Make the fingerboard with a dish in it, that way it will match the sag in the bridge  now that's even easier. 

"No money above the fifth fret."

That you have to anchor both the pinky and the ring fingers .

A prepared banjo is a marriage-saver

“The banjo is a happy instrument”. and “you can’t play a sad song on the banjo”

I can quit any time I want.
