I currently work in a fast-paced music shop. I sell guitars, basses, amps, etc...pretty much anything that makes music.
This includes the slightly more obscure items too, such as mandolins, pocket-sized ukuleles and, of course, kazoos.
For those too embarrassed to ask or too lazy to google, a kazoo is basically a pipe one hums into and a film-covered comb inside it vibrates - resulting in a sharp buzzing sound.
Now, as a good salesperson, this is what I should have explained to the gentleman with several small children.
But sometimes the opportunity is too great.
When he asked me, "What is a kazoo?"
I clearly explained, "It's where they keep the ka-animals."
Brilliant story! Love it!
