Yesterday in the second act of Kiss Me Kate, my conducting baton caught the edge of my stand and went flying on stage in this huge arc which is basically to say "Look at me! Look at me!" I continued to conduct and the orchestra continued to play while we all tried to stiffle an avalanche of sniggering. On next black out the stage crew cleared my baton off stage and I conducted the rest of the show with a pencil. The only saving grace of this moment of acrobatic baton twirling is that it didn't fly into the audience and skewer some blue haired granny.

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion
Thank God I wasn't part of the orchestra, I wouldn't have been able to contain myself. "The show must go on", means nothing to me.
On a totally different note, such a small paragraph, yet I made 4 spelling errors and 15 typos. ::eyeroll::

That's too funny. When I was in Wonderful Town, during the final dress with invited audience, I managed to send a shoe flying into the audience during a high kick -- in the one empty row!
