A C, an Eb and a G go into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So the Eb leaves and the C and the G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and the G is out flat. An F comes fourth and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.
A D comes into the bar and heads for the bathroom, saying, "Excuse me, I'll just be a second. " Then 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 Bb 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 Eb, 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) says, "You're looking sharp tonight- come on in. This could be a major development." This proves to be the case, as the Eb takes off the suit and everything else, and stands there au natural.
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 any contrary motions are bassless.

Yeah... Last time it was posted here, I re-posted it on my schools music department message board. They all talked me into writeing a song out of it for some reason or another, so I took the "chords" used in the story and made a chord progression out of it, then added a melody and used that as lyrics... It came out really quite bizzare... Kinda like a rap/regge/crap... haha...

The joke was funny, but it made my head hurt - I couldn't just read it, I had to really think about what I was reading for it to make sense and be funny.

The bartender decides, however, that since he's had only tenor so patrons, with the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest, and closes the bar.
