Ah yes!, that illusive mistress humor. Some folks just don't get it but I really did like Rick's response. Pure genius! Back during my active days as a Contra player for the Commandant's Own, the Corps would play the State Fair of Texas for a month. Well the routine did get tedious so it became a challenge to keep focused on the task at hand. Every day we did the end of day parade around the Cotton Bowl and there was a float that had two popular characters at the time who were Shera Princess of Power and of course Connan the Barbarian. Well Marines do like to play pranks so we gave Connan a Contra and thus "Connan the Contrabarian" was born. It really was funny back then......I even have pictures. I guess that would be a GG Contrabarian Tuba..Hee,Hee...I think these things up "WHILE I PRACTICE!" by the way..
