Subject: RE: BS: Twain's quotes on musical instruments
Ambrose Bierce had a bookful of them, the one I like is about the Clarinet, but I always translate it into English when the instrument transmogrifies into BAGPIPES.
Clarinet (n) This is an instrument of torture played by people with cotton wool in their ears. There are only two things worse than a clarinet, two clarinets.
