Since we seem to have veered from the strict definition of ‘what do you call’ jokes, I will respond in the spirit:

What does a stripper do with her asshole before she goes to work?

Drops him off at band practice.

Define an optimist:

A trombone player who carries a beeper (DAMN, that’s an old joke)

* * *

What’s the difference between a trombone player and a frog walking down the street?

The frog might be on his way to a gig.
