What’s the difference between a turtle and a trombone player?

The turtle MIGHT be on the way to a gig.

How many drummers to change a light bulb?

1. One to do the work while 11 stand around debating about how much better it would’ve been if Neal Peart did it.

Dammit, randwill, you stole my joke!

Anyhow:

Q: How do you know a drummer’s at your door?  
A: The knock speeds up and he doesn’t know when to come in.

Q: How many bassists does it take to change a light bulb?  
A: None. The keyboardist can do it with his left hand.  
A: Just one, but the guitarist has to show him first.  
A: It doesn’t matter. Nobody will notice anyway.

Q: How do you get two flutists to play the same note?  
A: You shoot one of 'em.

But do I mean jokes about bad musicians or bad jokes about musicians? Both. And to open it up, something that fits both possible definitions at once.**

Wow! I’ve inspired a good thread, here. 🆒

Thanks, **paperbackwriter**! 🙂
