C, E-flat, and G go into a bar ...

[bighouse]

The bartender says, "sorry,
but we don't serve minors." So E-flat leaves, and C and G
have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the
fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries
to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

D comes in and heads for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me.
I'll just be a second." Then A comes in, but the bartender
is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.
Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the
bar and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found
in this bar tonight."

E-Flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with
nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "you're looking
sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major
development." Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit
and everything else, and is au natural.

Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's
under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of
contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced
to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional
facility.

Theoretically speaking, that's hilarious! :lol:
It's tough, sometimes, for bartenders to keep things in accord. :wink:

Gives them something to fret about :mrgreen:

That's my MySpace quote! How awesome.

Are you sure that it shouldn't read ......." I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full-frontal lobotomy" ??

The devil's in the details, eh Coastie? Duly noted. :wink:

If the bottle's full, it's not being read right. :mrgreen:

Never heard that one... good "inside" joke story for music theory geeks.

I used to hang out with a crowd of classical musicians, one of whom referred to jazz musicians by saying: "those beboppers like to flat their fifths... but we drink ours".

If the bottle's full, it's not being read right. :mrgreen:

Or do you mean: If its being read right, the botle's still full! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[coastie99]

If you don't have to close one eye to read it right, you can't be doing it right !

Right ?

I've always liked "I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me rather than a pre-frontal lobotomy"

I saw it on a restroom wall.

On the same wall someone had scrawled "E=MC²"
Someone wrote underneath it "next time show work"

Can you tell I live in a college town?

The opening joke was punalicious!

Did you hear about the constipated mathematician - he worked it out with a pencil :twisted:

I knew somebody would find the original quote eventually. :wink:
