The Joke’s On Me
I’m not feeling particularly profound today, so here are a few jokes about music and musicians:
Q: What does a trombone player do first thing every morning?
A: Get up and go to his day job.
(You could actually substitute many other instruments in the place of “trombone.” It’s just that the word “trombone” sounds funny to me.)
Q: How many musicians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: 17. One to screw the light bulb in, and the other 16 to stand around saying, “I could do that.”
Do you ever get the feeling that a great many musicians in the audience at the Grammy Awards are thinking that?
Q: How many lead singers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: One. She holds the bulb while the world revolves around her.
If you found that joke offensive because the lead singer was depicted as female, then here, in the interest of fairness, is another version:
Q: How many lead singers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: One. He holds the bulb while the world revolves around him.
I don’t think this version is any funnier.
Q: What is the difference between an accordion and an onion?
A: No one cries when you chop up an accordion.
Lest you think that I am being insensitive, I actually possess, and occasionally play, my own accordion.
“On behalf of the band, thank you, ladies and gentlemen! You know, we’ve had a lot of requests, but we’re going to keep on playing anyway.”
