Home of the Kazoo

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."
