» Accidental innuendo

the humiliation.
When I was 14, I ran for Captain of the Senior School Choir. All the candidates had to stand in front of the 50-strong student music dweebs and give a speech about why we wanted to be Captain, what music we liked, what other instruments we played etc.

A week prior to this, my father had bought a B3 Hammond organ - his pride and joy. Think of the Doors, A Whiter Shade of Pale, that sound. He couldn't play it very well but he was always mucking about pretending to be Jon Lord.

So, of course, when I was asked by the music teacher in charge of conducting the choir whether I had a musical family, I duly told her and the 50 other 14 - 17 year olds in the room that my father really likes playing around with his organ. Hilarity ensued.

Length... good god that's just really, really wrong.
