[Dixielandjazz] Fw: Public Service Announcement...............

[Bob Romans]

VERY FUNNY! I can hardly wait to show to CB7's trombone player, Dick 
Bowman...he gets the "giggles", and can't stop laughing for 
hours...everything seems to be over, and there he goes again...completely 
uncontrollable! He'll love this one!
Warm regards,

> Each year thousands are people are killed, maimed or annoyed by

> Trombones should be stored out of reach of children.

> Law enforcement officials are particularly alarmed over the increase in

> One response is the increased sentencing for those using a trombone while

> you're out" laws passed in many states.
> The automatic and semi-automatic models are much more dangerous than the
