I have found that a banjo will serve as a good frying pan - if the needs arises.

Brass instruments make great worms for stills. Never will forget when we used the sousaphone for a run of The Crayture. We poured the still beer into the still, capped 'er off with the sousaphone, and afore ya know it we'd run out twenty gallons in B-flat and twenty more in C. Two days later the sousaphone player was unhappy because the fumes gave her a hangover that didn't go away for over a year and a half. Usta knead the biscuit dough by tying a bag of it to the end of the trombone slide, too. And what ya kin do with a French horn don't bear tellin'.

Y'all should give up on them stringed instrument and start explorin' REAL musical queseen.

A lap harp is handy for making potato salad. Boil the potatoes, allow them to cool until they can be handled, then push them through the strings to slice.

Never allow them to cool all the way before adding the onions and levers.

properly set up, I would think that a frying pan would make a good tenor banjo...

Anyone who owns an old Kyle Creed banjo with a formica fingerboard is probably tired of hearing that it would be good for slicing eggs. I guess a steel bodied guitar would be just as good, and would also make a good popcorn popper. Ukes with the strings removed would make good birdhouses. Ovation guitars would make good canoe paddles.

Well, a lot of priests took up the tenor banjo because it doubled as a collection plate.

Especially in the pub.

More like the denoument, as in 'always have shufti before you have a pee' in the song about the bloke who buys a lobster and hides it in the guzunder.

Metal cookie cutters make good percussion instruments, I used to have a biscuit ring that was a perfect C. Similarly, I've used a triangle as a cookie cutter. I also made a bagpipe cake but that was something entirely different.

I've never tried frying with an accordion.... they're better for barbeques.

Chamber pots would make better slow cookers than frying pans, though.

Guzunder = chamber pot, as in; it "guzunder" (goes under) the bed.

Shufti - a word meaning look, usually a quick glance to ascertain all is well.

I think you can work out 'pee' for yourself.

I do so love teaching "vurriners" new words!

But best not try to fry the shaky eggs... there are easier ways of destroying them and it only ruins the skillet.

Meat skewers make useful beaters for triangles when you lose the original, and you can eat a shishkebab at the same time!

The thing about cooking shaky eggs is you need to know whether the shaker is a big-ender or a little-ender. This is not for any pupose of avoiding one of Gullivar's Travels episodes but more about which end gets inserted first when it finally gets stuffed up the shakers rear end orifice.   The bastard was bad ytesterday he even thinks its a good idea to shake the bloody thing whilst people are singing.

On sale at the moment are a selection of empty eggs for filling with sweeties for Easter egg hunts. You could substitute another filling and then not quite secure it properly?

I leave it to you to choose a filling but I've found a mixture of mayonnaise and marmite to be quite successful, especially if there is a soupcon of tomato sauce. I believe it was known in the boys school as 'white 'n' shite sauce'. The touch of tomato sauce was added by the girls school.
