Well, Mark, when I was in marching band we had an electric bass one year

strapped to the amp and the whole thing strapped to a handtruck. Who gets
to lug it? Here's the scary part...

Some nitwit who volunteered.

I was section leader of the clarinet section that year, and I thought the

low boredom index, but suiting up to push a handtruck...
