Wouldn't happen to me - if it came to a toss-up between playing with a sore 
lip or losing gig money I'd be out there at the gig like a shot!!

Puts me in mind of an old joke, which I'll probably get slightly wrong but 
here goes.  Fellow in the saloon bar sees a cowboy outside hitching up his 
horse before coming in for a beer.  Just before he comes in he sees the 
cowboy carefully lifting up the horse's tail and giving its behind a big 
smooch.  Curious, the fellow asks the cowboy when he comes in why he kissed 
the horse's @$$.  "Oh, it's because I have sore lips," he says.  The fellow 
asks "Why, is kissing the horse's @$$ a cure for sore lips?"  "Not exactly," 
says the cowboy, "but it sure stops me from lickin' 'em!"
