'Noteworthy' Joke

OK, I had to post this; a friend sent it this morning. And talk about GEEKAGE! :boggle: Who figured this one out?

A C, an E-flat, and a G go into a bar. The bartender says: “Sorry, but we don’t serve minors.” So the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and the G is out flat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, “Excuse me. I’ll just be a second.” Then an A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.

Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims, “Get out now. You’re the seventh minor I’ve found in this bar tonight.”

The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized) says, “You’re looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development.”

This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au natural.

Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest. The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility. On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

The bartender decides, however, that since he’s only had tenor so patrons, and the sopranout in the bathroom, everything has become altoo much treble; he needs a rest, and closes the bar.

:laughing: :laughing:

A man, convinced that he can become a great composer by drinking wine from the skull of Beethoven, decides to find the grave and dig up the remains. After finding the grave, he proceeds to dig up the coffin. Upon finding the coffin and hoisting it up, he pries the lid off. There lies Beethoven, with a lit candle, a stack of music and huge eraser, erasing note after note. He shouts, “Close the door, man, I’m decomposing!”.

:smiley: :party: :stuck_out_tongue: I like your story Cathy! And, Beethoven’s not bad either VB! :wink:

What is perfect pitch?

It’s when you are tossing the piano accordian into the trash can and it hits the banjo already in there!

I don’t know…but it sure sqweeks of Tal !

Naw! Not model or pentatonic enough…

I had the same thought, Jack, but I didn’t want to irritate my friend, Tal, down under. He might have started calling me names again.

Darlings! The problem with E flat is that she went to the C Major Hotel.

Had she taken her friends to the Bb Major Tavern, they would all have been considered natural patrons and treated accordingly. None of them are minors therein.

:stuck_out_tongue:

sick.

BTW… that might be kind crazy, being in a Bb tavern… after the G goes flat and the E goes natural, that could be a very tense situation, I mean really, who would be the dominant one then? At the end of the day, it doesn’t resolve anything

Would that have made E Flat a Leading Tone? :astonished:

P.S. I’m enjoying everyone’s replies more than the joke!

That wouldn’t make me a … shallow person, would it? (Lyle Lovett)

me too!

oh, ah, cheeseburger

Why does using Crisco on the tuning slide of whistles and flutes make them play too sharp? Because it’s shortening.

GAAAAHHHHHH! :laughing:

If I had a boat, I’d go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony, I’d ride him on my boat
And we could all together, go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat (Lyle Lovett)

Noo,
that’s when you toss the fiddle into the toilet and it goes in without touching the rim..

And if I were Roy Rogers
I’d sure enough be single
Couldn’t bring myself to marry that ol’ DALE … :wink:

Although my truly favorite line belongs to Tonto.

Okay, back to the joke in progress …

No no no - in the Bb Tavern, Eb is sub-dominant. This does not mean her dominance is less than F’s dominance. It simply means she dominates even though she is under.
:wink:

“…Wow. That’s quite an act. What do you call it?”

“The Aristocrats.”

Oh geeze…
Isn’t that a family act?
