I started to watch this video with giant contrabass saxophones on YouTube, and found myself spontaneously saying "Fill that with water, and you could drown a kid in it", just like that.
Which reminded me of a certain type of old-fashioned, "brutalist" (let's call it) American folk humor. I remember coming across a line in a book that described a hairpin turn in the railroad tracks as being so sharp that "You could sit in the caboose and spit in the conductor's eye". Just like that.
