I work for a natural gas/oil exploration company. Along with about 700 others I drive a company truck with our logo on the doors. Yesterday afternoon, someone called our emergency hotline and reported my truck license plate number and stated the driver of this truck was smoking a crack pipe while driving. They went on further to say they knew it was a crack pipe, because it was too long to be a tobacco pipe. The plate number was identified as mine. Our VP was notified of the complaint. He did not believe the story, but knew it had to be reported to HR who called my boss. My boss called me and told me I had to report to HR this morning to be questioned about a complaint that was made to the hotline. I had no clue what it was about.
When they read the complaint to me, I responded I had never done drugs of any kind and would gladly prove it with any type of drug test. It did not dawn on me until my boss brought it up. He said the first thing he thought of was a turkey call and then it finally hit me. While sitting at the stop light, I was running a trumpet call. Because of HR rules I did go take that drug screen, but we all had a good laugh when I walked out to my truck and retrived my "crack pipe" (a Dave Constantine trumpet that always hangs around my rear view mirror).
The VP is relieved because I am his A player for a golf tournament on Monday. I actually suggested that I had an addiction to turkey calls and the company should pay for yearly therapy consisting of hunting multiple states in the Spring to help me deal with the illness.
2 things, first this is very funny and I could see it happening to me someday, second, wouldn't you have to use a crack pipe to know what one is. I wonder who called you in?????
Sounds like that call just got a new nickname.
Pheww, that's something. Some people need to mind their own business.
hilarious. How many hits on a trumpet does it take to get high?
Dave Constantine now makes crack pipes?!
Another good example of pandering to your target market!

That is absolutely hilarious. Cheech and Chong toking on a trumpet. :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
That's just plain "nuts". People that don't know any better should just keep their stinkin' mouths shut. Glad you finally figured it out.. You can't fix stupid, unfortunately.. ???
Next thing you know you'll be doing shots out of a tube call :)
Glad to hear you were able to easily explain what happened.
Guess I better practice my trumpet in private!

As many hours as I have spent in the past couple of weeks with a trumpet to my mouth practicing its a million wonders that I haven't been accused of the same thing. Come to think of it, it is very similar to an addiction.
:TooFunny: :TooFunny:
Trumpet calls are whack ;D
mudhen
That's funny.
Remember what Nancy Reagan said "Just say no" :TooFunny:
Funny story
I make wingbones, so I have one around my neck every day. I mostly keep it tucked in my shirt with just the mouthpiece and lipstop sticking out. I have caught many a people staring, I know what they're wondering. I've even had some to say, "I just got to ask. What is that?"
