Oh say it ain't so, Penny!

Reminds me of a time when I took my autoharp through security in the airport. The security guy asked what the object in the black box was. "An autoharp," I replied, "a musical instrument."

He looked at it, looked at me, and said, deadly serious, "Play it."

So I did - took it out of the case and played a bit of Charlie Poole's "Wild Horse."

The officer started bopping. "That sounds good!" he said. And waved me through.

And no, I didn't have any contraband. I wasn't even playing for a Contra Band.
