An orchestra-ism.

Running jokes in our chamber group often include those about kittens. Awful, but true. Anyway, we were playing a peice with a lot of trills and one of them was really high. The second violinist played one by herself...it was a bit squeaky.
Conductor: Well that sounded like a cat in a blender.
Violist: Yeah, but they don't make that song for very long.

A note: Any animal cruelty protests will be handled harshly. Meaning posted. And reprimanded.
I actually quite like kittens.

Yeah I know.
And you've gotta love my impersonation at the party. Now I'm thinking that maybe I should have yowled a bit more. But you can't have it all. ;)
