Urban legend, though I'd never heard it before. The bit about the explosion knocking everyone over in the audience was the tip-off for me. :-)

Great story. Couldn't find it on snopes, so maybe it's true.

No clear status on the roofer one, probably just a legend:

After reading this I had to scroll up and check again to see if it was from "The Onion".

Life is stranger than fiction!

Having spent almost thirty years in trombone sections of various sizes, playing virtually every type of music, I can say that although this may be an urban legend, it rings true. Being a trombonist (obviously) and understanding their warped senses of humor, this did not stretch my imagination the first time I read it.

By the way, this piece had to have been written by a trombonist-the amount of detail regarding the instrument and the mute (and the writing style) and the physics involved point to a bone player.

By the way--what does a trombonist write his gigs on?










His Career-at-a-Glance, of course.

Believeable.

Completely believeable.

The guy's a low bass player.

What else would you expect? Heck, he missed the the woodwind and viola sections of the orchestra and got the conductor.

I heard a voice with a Austrian accent say "Fur every akshon zer iz un eekvul un opposeet reakshon!"

I wonder...whom might it have been that Paolo thought he heard speaking in his head?

Surely Sir Isaac Newton did not speak with an Austrian accent.
