Hi all,
I realise this is a bit of an extension of Tim's thread, but hope it 
will provide some entertainment.

These are all about Trombones, and Mutes. At a contest a few years
ago a second Trombone became a little enthusiastic when putting a
mute in his instrument, when he gave the mute the customary half
turn, he did it with such force that he managed to wrench the entire
bell and tube section around approximately 30o. About 10 years ago 
another second Trombone player was left holding his outer-slide when 
he slap a mute in and sent the rest of his instrument over his 
shoulder, and finally in a warm up room, we were blowing into our 
mutes, mucking around, seeing how much air you could blow into them, 
well one of the friendly Bass players wanted a go, yep he blew the 
end right out of a stone line mute without a great deal of effort at 
all.      

And to finish, Newcastle City Council has just intstalled a brand new 
Fire hose in our Band Room, the reason, they believe the Building may 
be in danger of burning down before they are able to demolish it. 

ALL THE BEST
