We were hangin' out back stage so we could see it as well as the trumpet section. Snake pulled out his schlong and let it hang. The bass helped hide it from anybody Snake didn't want to see it as well. Somebody got the attention of the trumpet section, and there went that beautiful muted trumpet part. Sounds that came from the section....Phew, aack, slober and gag!!! | PLEASE PAUL, WHEN WILL YOU RIGHT A BOOK? THE "WARBURTON TALES" ...WE NEED IT

And the simple secret of the plot...is just to tell them that I love you alot. As the world discovers as my book ends, how to make two lovers a friend.
