When I was in the 7th grade (circa '06) I showed my fat arm down the bell of my Baritone Saxophone and got lodged in there. The school nurse tried everything in her power to get it off, but couldn't. She ended up calling the fire department where they had to take it apart to get it off. All in all, I was stuck in this for about 2.5 hours. I was in the school yearbook and local newspaper.
Tl;dr: OP was a dummy in middle school and the fire department had to help. OP thought Imgur might want to laugh at him.

That's how you get fame before Facebook

You looked like a chubby Dewey from Malcolm in the middle

I thought this was going to result in you losing the arm.
Tantx2
I thought you were going to say the school nurse blew on your horn to get you free.

Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow! For real though, this makes me sad as a band director.
AugurOfDunlain
Don't worry! I paid for the damaged pads. The sax is still being played today!

Looks like the kids got the oboe stuck up to his elbow... I'll see my way out.
AugurOfDunlain
I'll show you the door.
badgerbadgersquared
YO just so you know a good helping of brass valve oil woulda solved that

They probably just needed to freeze/cool the sax. Your arm would have shrunk with the cooling and so would the metal.

You're making imgur great again

5his is the part were we throw our heads backbone laughter. Ready? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
SlightlyMoreAppropriateUsername
DID THEY MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT? I must know, I do think see anyone else asking..
AugurOfDunlain
Nobody had to ask. I paid for the pads to be replaced. The sax is perfectly happy and played to this day.
SlightlyMoreAppropriateUsername
When we were doing this in school, my biggest fear was to have to pay for it because I did something, good for you.

In marching band I singlehandedly got our pregame routine changed. I played sousaphone and we were supposed to run into position on cue 1/2
mtallmen184
He had us sprinting with sousaphones on and every time I thought I was going to trip and fall. During one practice I did fall and bent 2/3
mtallmen184
The bell of the sousaphone. After that he gave us a few extra seconds to get into position so we didn't have to run at top speed.

By "fat arm" you mean penis, right?
AugurOfDunlain
Yes

MS/HS Band teacher here (8 years so far)... when stuff like this goes down, we generally get very mad, but can laugh about it shortly after.
AugurOfDunlain
I paid for new pads, the only thing that was damaged, but my band teacher posed with me with a "L" finger shape on my forehead while 1/2
AugurOfDunlain
All the kids took pictures with their phones before he would even let me go to the nurses office. I loved my band teacher and I love you.

As a bari sax player...op you're a legend
ObiWanKenobiHimself
I am also a bari sax player, and not a performance goes by where I show people how far I can shove my arm down the bell
JumpTheCheeseburger
As a former bari player, I've done that so many times but was never stupid enough to get my arm stuck.
AugurOfDunlain
I guess I was just the right amount of stupid.

I can't believe I never thought to put my arm down my own bari. Damn you for stealing the idea i never had!
AugurOfDunlain
It's never too late.
Canmoron
It is, I play the bass clarinet now! ;_;

This one time in Band Camp...OP totally fisted his...baritone sax? What the fuck is that a euphemism for? It's not? Goddamn it OP.
AugurOfDunlain
Don't even get me started about what we did in band camp...

Let's just say the bari sax wasn't the only one that got fisted
AugurOfDunlain
Op is a bundle of sticks sooo
Medicdroid20
If it was anything like mine it was marching for 6 hours straight and having the freshman fuck it up so we could do it "just one more time"
GandalfsLawyer
Everyone else has the cool band camp stories. All we did at mine was form a cult. I'm envious
AugurOfDunlain
Should I make a post about it? We did some crazy shit during camp and on bus rides to competitions too.
BreadInside
Please do
AugurOfDunlain
I'll think about it ;)

We had a guy in our class who looked exactly like Kenny G. He also played sax.
OutdoorHuman
I mean, he'd have to
doubleormuffin
Probably played it better than Kenny G too
AugurOfDunlain
He was definitely better than Kenny G.
AintNoCompanionLikeABlueEyedMerle
I guess I'm out of the sax loop. Is Kenny G ass at sax?
