Cat Burrito Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 [color=#333333]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.[/color] Quote

JakeBrownBass Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) C Eb and G aren't a major triad?............or am I missing the joke Edited January 29, 2012 by JakeBrownBass Quote
skej21 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) [quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1327861834' post='1517850'] Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. [/quote] Is it bad that when I was reading this bit I thought 'the bartender shouldn't worry. A is a major 6th up from C so is perfectly legal'... Better to be safe than sorry if he wants to keep his job behind the bar in the current economic climate though Edited January 29, 2012 by skej21 Quote

Over the years, this joke has gone through more key changes than 'Mack the Knife'. Garry Edited January 29, 2012 by lowdown Quote

iconic Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Brilliant, what's even better is that a few month's ago it wouldn't of struck a chord with me.... Was all Greek back then.... Quote
leftybassman392 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Some major changes there, but a relatively minor issue nonetheless. Quote
