[TPIN] 4 Horns For Sale - Cleaning Out!

[Allegro69]

Don't tell the Navy where your uncle is. They're apt to 'deliberate' him and
deliver him to one of their fine brigs...be it he's six feet 'above' or six
feet 'under'. Every instrument the Navy issues has that Property of the
U.S.N. emblazoned on it where even pawnbrokers wouldn't touch it with a ten
foot pole if or when a Navy MU got short of cash. Since the Navy and the
other
branches have more money than brains and buy instruments by the carload,
it's undoubtedly a good horn. 8-)
