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.

Where did Eric Massa finish?
Knowing Key West, conch shells weren’t the only thing they were blowin’.

So does Clinton have to hand over his title as Blow Job King?
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.
