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

gilded, I understood your cartoon better than I understood Darryl's joke!

Is that drawn by Harvey Kurtzman? It looks like it came from a vintage (pre-Alfred Newman) MAD magazine.

1954, I think. Google 'bop jokes mad magazine'

The Mag Mag 'bop jokes' usually come up in blogs about jokes that didn't age well. The one above is joke no. 3. It's still funny to me!

That's Funny Joe! I also enjoyed the literary Prowess of both Darryl's and Gilded's Jokes. Here is my entrance in the joke telling thread. Little boy is talking with his Grandma and Grandpa one day. He told his Grandma that one of his friends got in trouble for throwing rocks at a window. Grandma Responded with "Eh Tit for Tat". The little boy promptly turns to his Grandpa and asks "Grandpa, What is a Tat?" Grandpa replies "I don't know son but it sure doesn't sound like a fair Trade to Me!":rolleyes:

Hanging out in the double bar too long, Hatted Frau? This may be totally fugued, but you should have da capo punishment by being shot around with a canon!
