Probably pretty flat coming out of an Ebbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.

Yeah - it has a good funny side and were it not for people being in uniform I would have liked it. I'm afraid it reminded me a bit too much of a certain reservist "walking the dog" in the ME a few years ago. There is a time and place for all things (pretty much) but at times a bit of discretion is called for.

I can think of several places in the world where people are trying to make music on even worse looking beaters than that.

All things in proper context..............

Ouch. That sits wrong with me. I have a beater King 606 trombone with a rusted out slide and I cannot bring myself to throw even that away.
Someone could have played that. Except for the bell, it looked pretty clean though of course I have no idea how it actually played. There are probably a few people I know who wear the same clothes that wouldn't mind doing that to my King...
