Someone called 911, but this man’s maple instrument wasn’t a gun. It was a bassoon.

Prof. Peter Schickele started as a bassoonist. Just saying.

That explains so much!

I played the bassoon in high school. Like an oboe, it's an ill woodwind that nobody blows good.

I don’t know. But from what I’ve seen here I am pretty sure Laz would hit it!

Most everyone has heard of Horace Greeley (”Go west, young man!”). His great-grandson, Reece Greeley, played bassoon in my junior high school 55 years ago. “Hey, Reece!”

You saw how the snowflakes acted when they saw a pop tart with a bite out of it that looked like a pistol. These people are insane ... you cannot treat them as rational

In the movie 'Sniper', Tom Berenger and Billy Zane are in a helicopter when a Marine asks Billy what he has in the case.

Billy said, 'A bassoon.'

To be less offensive an assault bassoon needs a silencer.

Rumor has it that Laz had a near miss, but was irradiated with
the residual back flash.That explains it.
