New dinosaur species found that lured mates with horns.

A. How do they know that?

B. I used to play a French horn but that never helped.

1. my wife played french horn...

and oddly enough...that DID attract me...(but I don't think it was the horn type...just that she was musical)

sP

[slackmaster]

3. Did she play the theme from The Munsters to warm up?

Lots of French horn players do.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

4. no, not that i recall...

but that certainly wouldn't have hurt :-)

5. I dunno, a woman's embouchure looks pretty sexy when she's playing the French horn.

I had a girlfriend in 8th grade who played the French horn. I loved to watch her pucker up... B-)

11. My daughter plays the oboe.....

that might explain the crowd. And no nasty comments about the reeds:angrymomstare:

20. Oboe and French horn players...

Natural allies. I know a few married couples and myself had many alpha-male horn playing boyfriends or best friends. Maybe it's about being on the "hot seat" all of your life...

[Hardrada]

24. My wife played a clarinet.

That's close!

[Karenina]

28. Close enough for Rock 'n Roll!

:hide:

2. Jazz players get all the chicks.

:cry:

[chromotone]

6. Don't believe it!

I've been listening and playing jazz for 40 years. I never got "all the chicks."

[Ikonoklast]

13. You must be tired.

7. You poor deluded fool. The French horn is a birth control device.

Not that I get to criticize you. Apparently big thick glasses and an ever-present pocket protector are contraceptives, too.

8. The Species Is Called "Chuck Mangioneosaurus"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

27. I thought it was going to be called Herbivore Albert? Oh well..... ;)

[devilgrrl]

9. So, I assume that Horn size matters?

:popcorn:

[AnneD]

12. If it did.....

bassoonist would never be lonely on Saturday night.

10. You should've tried playing a Velafrons horn, not a French one

A. There were three horns, one of which doesn't appear to have any other real function. Since it is on the head, scientists have deduced that it was there ornamentally (like peacocks) to lure females.

B. You should have made the French horn an ornament and not used it as an actual instrument.

C. Like the Velafrons you should've been a practicing vegetarian.

[Hardrada]

25. I might use that in my next incarnation!

[SoCalDem]

14. Purple People Eater ooh-eeh-aah

[Hardrada]

23. That guy was popular!!

walla walla bing bang!

[DainBramaged]

15. I played the tuba, ya think that would have sent a message??

[chixydix]

16. They are really big at the top and

small at the bottom.

[DainBramaged]

17. Au contraire my friend

Welcome to DU

:toast:

Mine was big, but not as big as the Sousaphone, which I also played.

18. The original Oom-pah loompahs!!

Was that in Bavaria? Looks like an Oktoberfest thing.

[DainBramaged]

19. YUP and I played one of those for YEARS

and I even owned a fiberglass one for a couple of years until my band leader/teacher died prematurely of a heart attack. The next guy was a douche bag, so I quit band and became a hippy freak.

[Hardrada]

21. Our band director got us to a Division I and then moved to a more

elite school. The next guy was kind of a sarcastic twit so I sang in the choir instead.

[Poll_Blind]

22. Cool horn! n/t

26. So THAT'S where the expression "horny" comes from!
