As a trombone player, I have learned to laugh at myself via being the butt of countless jokes (yes, I owned a pager in 1993). I stumbled onto this video over the weekend, and I had to post it here. I've always loved the MythBusters guys and their many projects and deconstructions -- one of my favorites is their holiday Rube-Goldberg contraption -- so when I found them trying to send a mute and the slide flying off of a trombone at the height of the 1812 Overture, I had to share it with you, my readers.  The video is a shortened version for an Australian program, Beyond Tomorrow. Enjoy the carnage!
