Because a tuba player would have to consult with other tuba players to make sure that he was using the right size/brand/finish log and that their technique was acceptable to the "flavor-of-the-day" norm. By that time the bear would have eaten the kids, car, father, and the pots and pans.

Yup, this is true. And besides, don't most tuba players flush their logs down the toilet?

That's a trumpet player. A tuba player would have first ensured that his beer was OK.

The tuba player would have already been kicked out of the campground for practicing on his new MW travel F tuba.

Log, shmog -- a tuba player (whether ex-rated or not ) would've used a BAT!

Simple. Just blow the bear away with your 6450 Baer
