Just wondering: If a really large tuba is a BAT, would a really large mouthpiece be a BAM?

Yes. Random thoughts................

I realize this is entirely too easy, however I'll type the obvious.

BAH! Humbug!

helicon -A large spiral brass tuba that fits around the player's shoulder.
[Probably from Greek helix, helik-, spiral.]

....either that or it's a tuba that can take off without a runway

Helicons are WATs = Weird *** Tubas

Maybe what we need is a TUBADAD

Then was Batman giving criminals mouthpieces all these times?

NO. A really large mouthpiece is referred to as a toilet bowl.

Certainly EITHER is preferable to saying, "There's a BAT in my Toilet Bowl"...

Or "KEG" (Keep Engineering Grapes!)

B.A.S. = Big *** Sousaphone!



OR... are they B.A.R.

Big *** Raincatchers??????

Gives some Tubist-jokes a whole new twist:

Two tubists walk past (with, into, ...) a BAR...
How many tubists can you fit into a BAR...
...

Apart from that, what is a candy- or chocolate-BAR covered with ?
Which BAR is better for DIXIE-use, noisette or almond?

If one were editing Webster's or the Oxford Dictionary of English and adding the entry "BAT," would the etymology truly be attributed to the TubeNet BBS?

Would anyone ELSE own up to it?
