That’s an entertaining story nonetheless. And, of course, you wouldn’t use a trumpet, would you? Wouldn’t a tuba or souzaphone make a better fruit bowl? 😉
A tuba would be awesome! You could fill that with all kinds of fruit from big ole papayas to little bitty figs. Truly an entertaining story and something to smile about in its own extravagence.
I nearly left a comment on one of the sites I saw it on that it smacked of a story worthy of The Onion. 🙂
Fantastic! Wonderful purchase there! I played tuba for a number of years… I would love to get my hands on a new one. It would make a nice punch bowl.
And here I was going to pass you over to an auction for Glen Miller’s Trombone so you have a flower vase.
Do me a favor… If you ever had even a thought spending a million on Lois’ Trumpet… do me a favor and talk to a collector first. Don’t let yourself be robbed… 😛
And what did you tell your mother?
The rumours are getting crazier and crazier 🙂
😀 Thanks for make my afternoon a little bit funnier.
BTW, any news of the photos you took in Argentina?
Did your ex-girlfriend that dumped you for other has call you to tell you how wrong she was about leaving you and how big mistake she did? =)
(No offence, it’s my specific sense of humor.)
I think it would have been more credible had it said that a normal trumpet would be filled with million dollar fruits.
I told my Mom the fruit wasn’t real, just plastic.
ok…that was a funny one.
Yeeeha… the fruit will taste sweeter

So did Matt get the $25 million?
Of course, you can’t use a trumpet as a fruit bowl! It won’t stand up right. Better to add some sort of foundation to keep it steady and use it as a flower vase!
haha..then whats your mom response about this matt?
I spat my morning tea out all over my keyboard. Best fake story EVER.

“Matt’s stated intention to use the trumpet as a fruit bowl in the $7 million mansion he’s thinking of buying in San Francisco’s exclusive Pacific Heights.”
They’ve missed the $1 million office in Buenos Aires’ exclusive Puerto Madero. 🙂
Waiting to have you back here, in the meantime I’ve moved my blog as promised.
Congrats for the very nice fruit bowl!
Fruit in a trumpet
Nice response to the Matt Mullenweg “trumpet as fruit bowl” post over at Odelbee. Matt was kind enough to post a link to the story on his blog, which has driven lots of traffic over the past couple of days. Also some decent StumbleUpon acti…
haha, that’s pretty funny.
Haha, I though it was for real.
Matt, forget the pumpkin pie, how about fruit cake? 😉
You have to give the writer credit for a VERY active imagination. Where did he come up with that??!! It might work for berries, though.
