For all you Music Theory lovers,
C, E-flat, and G go 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. 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
sobers up and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest. C is brought to
trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is
sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional
facility.
If you thought that was funny, you are a veritable music geek.
