Which requires more skill to play: The triangle or the kazoo?

Discuss.

playing the triangle with a kazoo?

For me the kazoo is more difficult as you have to be able to hold close to a tune, whereas the triangle only (usually) requires single notes at vaguely the right time.

Personally, I advocate the use of the croquet triangle, wherein you may only strike it with a croquet ball at a minimum distance of 5 metres. Different notes may be obtained via the use of different ball materials, and of course mallet striking strength.

I was going to play the Bermuda Triangle, but I found myself totally disorientated.

The problem wiht the Bermuda Triangle is it's tuned in the key of B, so you end up lost at C.

What do you get if you if you integrate one over cabin with respect to cabin? Natural log cabin by the c.

(I hope I haven't done that one before.)

I'd say the Cajun style triangle is hardest... Though the Bermuda triangle sounds as though it could be useful as a musical instrument <imagines the endless possibilities>

<muses on triangle shaped kazoo as feeble attempt to retain some coherence with topic for at least one page>

<realises futility of attempt>

<opts instead for triangle shaped chocolates>

<admits triangle shaped chocolates are found by nibbling appropriate corners off square and rectangular chocolates>

<ah! the things we do to achieve world peace>

<applies for job in Cadbury's factory to be triangular chocolate maker>

The Bermuda triangle may be played most effectively with a heavy destroyer-class vessel, or nuclear submarine for added subtlety.

I can play neither the Kazoo nor the Triangle, but am a master at playing the Fool.

You must think we're pretty gullible. Who'd be enough of a booby to think that bird puns would wing their way into THIS fforum?
