KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) -- A sixth-generation Key West resident, who first blew a conch shell as a child, has won the island's 48th annual Conch Shell Blowing Contest in Florida.
Thirty-six-year-old Clinton Curry followed his two-toned toot Saturday with a portion of composer Aram Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance" on a single shell, earning applause from several hundred spectators.
Blowing the fluted, pink-lined conch shell has been a Key West tradition since the early 1800s, when seafaring settlers used it as a signaling device.

Reminds me of the following joke (not for children):
A penguin is driving through the Arizona desert, when all of a sudden the oil warning light of his car comes on. He barely limps to the next town and finds a garage.
While the mechanic is looking at the car, the penguin decides to look for some refreshment and finds an ice cream parlor just around the corner.
He orders a big bowl of vanilla ice cream to cool him down a bit, but since he's not able to eat with a spoon, he just sticks his head in the bowl and makes quite of a mess of himself.
He goes back to the garage, and the mechanic, having just finished the inspection of the car, says to him: Well, it sure looks like you blew a seal there.
To which the penguin replies: Oh no, that's just ice cream.
I wonder how they differentiated this noise from the cruise ship horns.
