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.

Re: B Sharp
The problem with that Bar was the Staff. C was clearly the Root of the problem, while F could always be counted on to provide tension...
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

And requires at least an "end-of-freshman-year" level of understanding, regarding Music Theory.

Not entirely, my knowledge of theory is from high school music classes and I understood the joke pretty well. And it's bloody awful.skb12172 wrote:And requires at least an "end-of-freshman-year" level of understanding, regarding Music Theory.
