On very rare occasions I've buzzed my mouthpiece on the way to a gig or rehearsal, but with all of the road construction and crazy drivers in the DFW area it's wiser to keep both hands on the wheel. _________________ Bryan Fields

I am the OP.
This thread has generated many opinions.
I like to inject some emperical data, whenever I prefer to emphasize my own personal attitudes.
I found this: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 32,657 people died in distracted-affected crashes in the United States, from 2012 to 2021. Many of these crashes involved a driver distracted by a billboard or cellphone.
I did not find any crashes attributed to driving while tooting on a horn. _________________ Sub-Optimal Hillbilly Jazz

I have a leadpipe and mouthpiece in the car but only use it out on the open road, not in traffic. |

"Imperial" might pertain to the personal attitudes of the emperor.
"Empirical" might pertain to personal observations without regard for the emperor.
"Imperical" isn't a word, but if you are the emperor, you can make up words!

EMPERICAL should have been used.
The dreaded "spell-check" rears its ugly head. AND, I did not proof-read adequately.
Was distracted by a smoking-hot girlfriend. _________________ Sub-Optimal Hillbilly Jazz |
