As a tuba player, my fellow tubists and I would watch the woodwing players scoping each other out. They would try to decide "I think I'm better than her...I think I'm better than him...". Meanwhile, us tuba players knew we'd all play the same part regardless, so we'd look at each other and say "I think...I'll have another beer".
Imagine that someday, scientists use genetic modification techniques to produce a potato with all the nutrients anyone could need. Such a vegetable would surely be a "tuber mirum"!

Which seats are gonna be axed???
The headline says staffers
So, I'm guessing they're going to have to transcribe their own music from now on.

Take your pick
Any time you axe an oboe, the world is a better place.
Don't be a bassoon!
Kaz, don't be such a bassoon! Do you fear that the oboists will spread the Swine Flute?
And what of the flutes: will they target those who flaute conventionally or those who flaute convention?
That's Tuba'd

What do you get if you cut a tuba in half?
A oneba.
What If You Developed The Perfect Potato?

Has this layoff viola-ted any contract?
Don't Think Of It As A Layoff
Think of it as playing a piece with a forty year rest written into it.
