Did anyone else just see Yo-Yo Ma force Stephen Colbert into a delayed reaction character break with a baton joke? That was brilliant. :)

What did Yo Yo Ma say? I totally could not understand him...

Yeah, he does speak very quietly and quickly sometimes. He's a musician. ;)

Colbert picked up his baton and Yo-Yo Ma saluted him, and Colbert said that the baton meant that he was in charge and he would take any phallic symbol he could get. Ma nodded knowingly but then said "Very thin" as Colbert kept talking. About five seconds later Colbert doubled over with laughter and held up the baton again, remarking "No, slender." And again Ma responded "Ah. Form-fitting."

Oh, the joy that brings me. I love Yo Yo Ma. He showed up to one of my youth orchestra rehearsals...and later that evening I scored tickets to a sold out concert of his.
