Hope they sterilized the thing so the musician doesn’t get an 18,000 year old cave bat conch virus.
Hahaha...when I was in the USN as a jet mechanic, in the cockpits of the planes there is a relief tube (for the pilots to use in flight) that has a cone shaped thing on the end of it.
We would tell the new guys it was an emergency oxygen apparatus they had to test while checking out the plane, and would tell them they had to put it over their mouth and nose and breathe in and out!
I don’t recall if I fell for it, but I suppose I might have...:)
