What I want to know is...did you ever try a tuba mouthpiece on a bari
sax gooseneck? Now that would have to sound even worse, and much more
difficult to do, to boot, not to mention, there's a much greater chance
of the shank of the tuba mp getting stuck in the cork end of the gooseneck!

The scariest part of the above - I wasn't drunk when I thought this up! 8-O
