Big_Stu Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Going with the Mrs to a show tomorrow, their guitarist gave us plenty of notice and we're making a bit of a day of it it would appear. It seems their drummer likes to have "joke exchanges", problem is I'm cr@p at telling jokes - or remembering them & most of the drummer gags I know can't be repeated with a lady present (I could always keep sending her to the bar I suppose). Anyone got any good (reasonably clean) jokes that I can "borrow"? Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I know where you're coming from. When I chat to people, some think I know loads of jokes because of my dry sense of humour.( and slapstick). I do know a few , but I forget when put on the spot . My humour seems to win most people over . I'm sure you'll be fine . Quote

ezbass Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 What do you call a drummer without a wife or girlfriend? Homeless. How do you know when there's a drummer at the door? The knocking speeds up. What do you call 5 drum kits at the bottom of a lake? A good start. The U.S. Cavalry are approaching a Sioux war party, when they hear the war drums. "I don't like the sound of those drums," says the captain, when from the war party comes the reply, "Don't worry, he's not our regular drummer." Quote

I'm more of funny but true anecdotes rather than "jokes". There's 11 in the band so hopefully it won't be my turn very often. Quote

DiceSociety Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 What's the difference between a drummer and a drum machine? With a drum machine, you only have to punch the information in once. I'll get my coat... Quote

Big_Stu Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 All worked out well in the end. I'd been told about this joke-telling in a phone call from the guitarist - using the drummers phone - mobile to mobile - internationally It was just the guitarist winding up the drummer, saying he wanted to tell me jokes while all the time the drummer was in the background wishing to hell he'd just finish the call instead of racking up his bill.

BassTractor Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 So we've been having a great time for nothing then? Well, thank you! Quote
Big_Stu Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 There's always a next time - they say they're coming back next year, it'll give me time to rehearse the jokes in case I do need them Quote
