 A most embrassing moment,

Why did he accept the challenge?

The band leader shouted,

Blow boy!

He put the horn to his lips and  with all his might.

He blew.

The horn is not his instrument.

What he grew up playing, is the pan

    Poor guy, but he did try. Is this based on someone you know, Gillena?

    Aww, poor guy! I thought of Radar from the show MASH! He had a hard time tooting that horn. 😂
