I was carrying my trombone on my bike once. For a laugh I thought I’d play some tunes to some schoolgirls I was passing – I can ride no hands.

Unfortunately the bell-end (I kid you not, that’s what they are called) of the trombone obscured my vision and I cycled straight into a trench dug for repairing gas-mains.

Fortunately nothing exploded and the girls laughed as I emerged from the trench and played a Tom & Jerry style “wheeer-eeeeer-eeehhhp” – the trombone still functioned, albeit bent.

….the man himself 😀

I’ve no idea why.
