We were getting ready to perform onstage somewhere in Peru in this very nice theatre. One of our Alto Sax/FLute?Clarinet players was putting his Flute together. For some reason he held it out in front of him and looked through the bore of the instrument. All of a sudden we heard the cocking of several weapons. He looked up with this "what the heck did I do" look on his face as the weapons were being pointed at HIM. They were the security detail for the President of Peru who was coming into the auditorium to meet us.

WhooopS!!!!!

Peru! Seems like you certainly got to some good places
There was me thinking the isle of Wight is exotic... you didn't notice anyone knitting slippers there did you?
