You got what stuck where?

[RichardCranium]

Had a good one happen last week thought I would share.

We all have IEM setups in my band and I have the Future Sonics Atrios units and I love them. I'm also our soundguy and have to pop them in & out occasionally to step out front and check the mix. I went to put them back in and noticed the rubber tip was missing and went "huh". Looked for it on the ground and quickly realized that... wait for it...

it was still stuck in my ear! Of course it was 2 songs into an hour set and had to suffer till break.

Luckily my singer had some tweezers in her purse and managed to get it out. Of course I immediately put it back and, you guessed it, got it stuck again!

The holes that the tips mount on the earphones had gotten loose from use and of course I didn't figure it out the first time lol. I have some more tips on order and got through the gig with a different size.

Just another day in the life of a working musician.

I would hate that... I hate things being stuck in my ear. it's a phobia of mine.

I have a brother in law who's a doctor and he tells about a night when he was dong his residency, a guy came in complaining of severe abdominal pains. During the course of his examination a 2 D cell flashlight was discovered in the guys bunghole. They got the thing out and the guy swore he had no idea how it got there.

The entire flashlight?!?

Geez my doctor friend tells of the applicant that he got to inform was pregnant. Turns out the guy couldn't pass the pee drug test so he "borrowed" his girlfriends. That must have been a shocker!

I posted this story in another thread a while back.


Jazz gig, Washington DC. The percussionist (male) shows up with a buzz well on and talking a blue streak about how he just hooked up with some rich older lady. First set, he's dancing around like his butt itches. By the start of the second set, he's pale and loopy. He turned around to talk to the drummer between songs, and someone in the audience pointed at him and screamed.... the backs of his legs were blood from his crotch down to his ankles. A couple minutes later he passed out. End of gig. Can't really keep playing with an unconscious band member bleeding all over the stage.

We called the ambulance and they took him to the ER, where the doctors determined that he was bleeding heavily from his rectum. An hour or so later, the doc handed the percussionist's girlfriend (!) a plastic baggie containing two large and expensive rings and a very long broken-off press-on fingernail that they removed from his innards. This stuff had torn his innards up pretty badly.

This was pre-9/11 DC in the first months of the Bush administration. The decadence would have impressed Caligula.

It's not every day you see the senior senator from Texas puking into a storm drain at 11pm, right next to your drummer.

Man as a Texan I have to explain we aren't ALL like that.
