The thing with the saxophone is that it looks good.
All musical instruments do, but the saxophone makes whoever is playing it look that bit cooler than most other instruments
The saxophone is over-rated.
The trombone is under-rated.

RT @petercmoore: What if Dolly Parton could only get a part-time job?
Cat scarpered when everyone started clapping tonight
Only just got him in
Ruddy NHS!
