I had to Google. Then I wished I hadn't. I'm glad I didn't hear about such a thing before for years in band (although now I'm afraid of what an alto saxophone might be a euphemism for).
BTW, this is reportdely from Craig's List. Nobody check Snopes. I just want to enjoy the moment of reading this, as it's something like I would pose as a joke if my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday (which, come to think of it, is just about 7-8 weeks away...muhahahahaha).

My husband has asked for a rusty trombone for his birthday, which is Wednesday. I've scoured the pawn shops and music stores, and I haven't found one. I am guessing that rusty ones will be cheaper than new ones, and I don't know what the big deal is, but it's what he wants and he is very specific about it. I could have bought a dozen new ones at this point, but he says that a rusty trombone is nostalgic for him, so I suppose it will mean more. If you selling (or even giving away) a rusty trombone, please let me know what you have, how much it costs and how I can get it (will you deliver it, or will I have to go to you?). Also, suggestions on how to wrap such a thing? Please help, I am down to the wire on this thing and I don't like being this late with a gift!!!
