Musical Humor
Like many jokes, you hear all kindsa different versions of this one. This is, to my knowledge, THE most complete(i.e. overblown)rendering:
C, E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don'tserve 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 outflat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. 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 andexclaims, "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 anice corporate job until his company downsized) says, "You're looking sharptonight, 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 diminutionof 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 anywrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary arebassless.The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so patrons,and the soprano in the bathroom, everything has become all too much treble; he needs a rest, and closes the bar.
