Ellis.. I feel a market for "Heavy Funnels", Titanium and rubidium lined
hoses, brushed and gold plated funnels and specially designed gig bags lined
with gopher fur may be in the offing::))

Subject: [TPIN] 30th anniversary of the invention of the Hosaphone(tm)

On behalf of the entire staff at Hosaphone Headquarters
we wish everyone a happy Independence Day, which is
coincidentally the 30th anniversary of the invention of
the Hosaphone(tm).

FROM THE HOSAPHONE FAQ
http://hosaphone.com/hosaphone-faq.html

2.4) Who invented the Hosaphone(tm)?
Ellis Workman

2.5) Why was there a need for the Hosaphone(tm)?
In 1976, the inventor's bride complained about carrying his quad trumpet
cases on the long portages on their BWCAW (Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness) camping trips in northern Minnesota. He then vowed to lighten
her load. Later in graduate school the inventor was compelled to study the
so-called Natural Trumpet. It became immediately obvious that the
Hosaphone(tm) was in every way the functional equivalent of the so-called
Natural Trumpet.

2.6) Where and when was the Hosaphone(tm) invented?
In Rochester, Minnesota on July 4, 1976. Petitions to the mayor's office
to declare that date Hosaphone(tm) Day have been met with less than a
fanfare.
