[Harp-L] humor for the music theorists--no harp

["Jay M. Thompson" <JMThomps@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rec'd from a music therapist I suspect some will get a chuckle:

C, an E-flat, and a G go into a bar. 
	The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." 
	So, the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth
between them. 
	After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished: the G is out flat. 
	An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not
sharp enough. 
	A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom
saying, 
	"Excuse me. I'll just be a second." 
	An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that
this 
	relative of C is not a minor. 
	Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar
and 
	exclaims: "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in
this bar tonight." 
	The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next
night in 
	a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. 
	The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his
company 
	downsized) says: "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This
could 
	be a major development." 
	This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit,
and 
	everything else, and stands there au naturel. 
	Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's
under a  rest. 
	The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to
the 
	diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS
without Coda at 
	an upscale correctional facility. 
	On appeal, however, the 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.
