Axe

Any musical instrument but usually a saxphone.

- You are in a room with Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler, and Kenny G with a axe. You have a gun but only two bullets. What do you do?

Shoot Kenny G twice... just to make sure.

-ahahahaha...so take this one: What is the difference between Kenny G and a machine gun?

The machine gun repeats only 10 times per second.
