Inflation Proof

All of us at work, were sent to get new work trousers today. My waist size has hardly changed in the last 20 years or so. However,I found that I had to buy trousers 2 inches bigger today? Now this is an unknown phenomena called ' Diaphragmatic Stomach Syndrome' caused by taking copious intakes of air into our stomachs to enable us to fill our instruments with the correct amount of breath to produce the notes!. To set the record straight, it has no connection at all with the copious amounts of beer, us Brass players drink. Just thought I would point this fact out to fellow musicians everywhere!
