> There’s also the full version of this joke, incomprehensible to all but music nerds:
> 
> So a C, an E-flat, and a G walk 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.
> 
> Then 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, who had passed out under the bar the night before, begins to sober up and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest. So, C goes to trial, is convicted of contributing to the diminution of a minor and sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an up scale correctional facility.
> 
> The conviction is overturned on appeal, however, and C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.
> 
> The bartender decides, however, that since he’s only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest and closes the bar.

But not to worry…he’ll be Bach.

A man is out shopping and discovers a new brand of Olympic condoms. Clearly impressed, he buys a pack.

Upon getting home he announces to his wife the purchase he just made.

“Olympic condoms?”, she blurts, “What makes them so special?”

“There are three colors”, he replies, “Gold, Silver and Bronze.”

“What color are you going to wear tonight?”, she asks cheekily.

“Gold of course”, says the man proudly.

The wife responds wryly, “Why don’t you wear Silver? It would be nice if you came second for a change.”

Jerry Falwell was seated next to President Clinton on a recent flight. After the plane was airborne, the flight attendant came around for drink orders. The President asked for a whiskey & soda, which was brought and placed before him.

The attendant then asked the minister if he would also like a drink. The minister replied in disgust, “Ma’am, I’d rather be savagely raped by an amazon whore than let liquor touch these lips!”

The President then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know there was a choice. I’ll have the same thing he’s having.”

A kindergarten pupil told his teacher he’d found a cat. She asked him if it was dead or alive. “It was dead.” She was informed. “How do you know?” she asked her pupil. “Because I pissed in its ear and it didn’t move,” answered the child innocently. “You did WHAT?!?” The teacher exclaimed in surprise. “You know,” explained the boy, “I leaned over and went ‘Psssst!’ and it didn’t move.”

A floor contractor is hired to do a job for the zoo. He’s to start by putting a new floor in the wildebeast cage. The animal is still inside, so he puts the crate of tiles just outside the cage and goes off to get the zookeeper to move him so he can get to work. When he comes back with the zookeeper, the wildebeast is setting the last of the tiles in his cage, having reached through the bars to grab the tiles one at a time. “Wow!”, says the contractor, “That is one AMAZING animal!”

“Not really”, said the zookeeper, “He’s just a typical gnu, and tiler too!”
