Everybody knows Scuba is actually an acronym. Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. But a Tuba could also be like Scuba except it's a TERRIBLE underwater breathing apparatus.
@GoldenRetrieverGF tbf it could be helpful, and tuneful, if you're standing in water just slightly above your head?

Sudden unwanted memory of the smell of the interior of the sousaphone owned by my high school.

One time at a football game, somebody threw a brownie down the bell, so I was rotating, trying to get it out, but realised I had gone the wrong wag, so after rotating even farther in the opposite direction, out came the brownie along with a pair of dirty socks.

(The mouthpiece and first few metres of the instrument were not implicated in this event. But still.)
