In an effort to keep you wonderful composers sane, I would love to bring you a little humor here everyday so as not to clutter up your posts. If that is OK by Gary and the GPO Mod Squad then I shall endeavor to bring you a little laughter to brighten your day and hopefully render a bit of relaxation while your composing (or decomposing). Of course, you may still hear from me from time to time if it feels good on a post!
Comments, questions, concerns and input welcome.
Little Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, he politely asked, \"What are you doing there, Nancy?\"
\"My goldfish died,\" replied Nancy tearfully without looking up, \"and I\'ve just buried him.\"
The neighbor was very concerned. \"That\'s an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn\'t it?\"
Nancy patted down the last heap of dirt then replied, \"That\'s because he\'s inside your fricking cat.\" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My answer to \"Cymbal Swells and Timpani Swells\" but I didn\'t have the heart to reply on the post;
Well, usually when I want my cymbals and timpani to swell I beat them with a club untill they are all black and blue...no no no geezze, the man\'s serious here.
How are trumpets like pirates?

Howlers in Musical Education
These are stories and test questions accumulated by music teachers in the state of Missouri...
Agnus Dei was a woman composer famous for her church music.
Refrain means don\'t do it. A refrain in music is the part you better not try to sing.
A virtuoso is a musician with real high morals.
John Sebastian Bach died from 1750 to the present.
Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was rather large.
MY FAVORITE!
Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling him. I guess he could not hear so good. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died from this.
Henry Purcell is a well-known composer few people have ever heard of.
Aaron Copland is one of your most famous contemporary composers. It is unusual to be contemporary. Most composers do not live until they are dead.
An opera is a song of bigly size. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

In continuation:
Aaron Copland is one of your most famous contemporary composers. It is unusual to be contemporary. Most composers do not live until they are dead.
An opera is a song of bigly size.
In the last scene of Pagliacci, Canio stabs Nedda who is the one he really loves.
Pretty soon Silvio also gets stabbed, and they all live happily ever after.
When a singer sings, he stirs up the air and makes it hit any passing eardrums. But if he is good, he knows how to keep it from hurting.
Music sung by two people at the same time is called a duel.
I know what a sextet is but I had rather not say.
Caruso was at first an Italian. Then someone heard his voice and said he would go a long way. And so he came to America.

While trombones have tubes, trumpets prefer to wear valves.
The double bass is also called the bass viol, string bass, and bass fiddle. It has so many names because it is so huge.

The concertmaster of an orchestra is always the person who sits in the first chair of the first violins. This means that when a person is elected concertmaster, he has to hurry up and learn how to play a violin real good.

A top movie producer was discussing his new project, an action docu-drama about famous composers... starring several familiar Hollywood faces. Stallone, Swarzenegger, and Van Damme were present. The producer really desired the box office \"oomph\" of these three, so they were prepared to allow them to select which famous composer they would portray.
\"Well,\" Stallone said, \"I\'ve always admired Mozart. I would love to play him.\"
\"Chopin has always been my favorite,\" said Van Damme, \"I\'ll play him.\" The producer was pleased.
\"That sounds splendid. But who do you want to be, Arnold?\"
\"I\'ll be Bach.\" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Little Harold was practicing the violin in the living room while his father was trying to read in the den. The family dog was lying in the den, and as the screeching sounds of little Harold\'s violin reached his ears, he began to howl loudly. The father listened to the dog and the violin as long as he could. Then he jumped up, slammed his paper to the floor and yelled above the noise, \"For pity\'s sake, can\'t you play something the dog doesn\'t know?\"
When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.
When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, \"Ah, yes, that\'s Beethoven\'s Ninth Symphony, beingplayed backwards.\"
He listened a while longer, and said, \"There\'s the Eighth Symphony, and it\'s backwards, too. Most puzzling.\" So the magistrate kept listening; \"There\'s the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth...\"
Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in thecemetery, \"My fellow citizens, there\'s nothing to worry about. It\'s just Beethoven decomposing.\"

Five reasons to believe computers are female:
1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. The message \"Bad command or file name\" is about as informative as, \"If you don\'t know why I\'m mad at you, then I\'m certainly not going to tell you.\"
4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Five reasons to believe computers are male:

2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.

4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.

A guy walks into a bar with a rabbit under one arm, his other arm slowly bleeding and orders a Scotch and a lettuce leaf. The bartender looks quizzically at him, but goes back to the kitchen and returns with the lettuce leaf, pours the drink and sets it down on from of him. The rabbit tosses off the Scotch in one gulp and the man chews at the lettuce, then places it over the bleeding spot on his arm.

Q: What\'s the difference between a drum machine and a drummer?
A: You only have to punch the information into the drum machine once!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A drummer, tired from being ridiculed by his peers, decides to learn how to play some \"real\" musical instruments. He goes to a music store, walks in, approaches the store clerk, and says \"I\'ll take that red trumpet over there and that accordian.\"
The store clerk looks at him a bit funny, and replies \"OK, you can have the fire extinguisher but the radiator\'s got to stay\".

Why are orchestra intermissions limited to 20 minutes?
So you don\'t have to retrain the drummers.
What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians?
A drummer.
What did the drummer get on his IQ test?
Drool.
How do you know when a drummer is knocking at your door?
The knock always slows down.
How do you get a drummer to play an accelerando?
Ask him to play in 4/4 at a steady 120 bpm.
Why do bands have bass players?
To translate for the drummer.

I used to play with a keyboardist in a top 40 band during the 80\'s. Insisting that he had perfect meter, He used to slam his right foot constantly through the songs to keep time. One gig, the guitar player and I set a metronome to the tempo of a blues shuffle. The piano player got so ticked off cause he couldn\'t keep in tempo with the met that he kicked it accross the dance floor.
His explaination was that he was the time keeper and that the met was malfunctioning.
Go figure.

Speaking of flakey keyboardists, also in the 80\'s, our top-40 club band was playing in a total dive of a bar (fights usually broke out between chicks) when all of a sudden the keyboard parts suddenly stopped! We all turned to see what the problem was and found the keyboardist paying the pizza delivery man for the pizzas! That was followed by only right-handed playing as he ate with his left hand.

One day an out of work mime is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a street performer.
However, as soon as he starts to draw a crowd, the zookeeper grabs him and drags him into his office.
The zookeeper explains to the mime that the zoo\'s most popular attraction, a gorilla, has died suddenly. The keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. The mime accepts.
The next morning, before the crowd arrives, the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage. He discovers that it\'s a great job. He can sleep all he wants, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime.
However, eventually the crowds tire of him and he gets bored just swinging on tires. He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his.
Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top to the lion\'s cage. Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd loves it.
At the end of the day the zookeeper comes and gives the mime a raise for being such a good attraction as a gorilla.
Well, this goes on for some time. The mime keeps taunting the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary keeps going up. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the furious lion, he slips and falls. The mime is terrified. The lion gathers itself and prepares to pounce. The mime is so scared that he begins to run round and round the cage with the lion close behind.
Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling, \"Help, Help me!\", but the lion is quick and pounces. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, \"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?\" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

As a butcher is shooing a dog from his shop, he sees $10 and a note in his mouth, reading: \"10 lamb chops, please.\"
Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the dog\'s mouth, and quickly closes the shop. He follows the dog and watches him wait for a green light, look both ways, and trot across the road to a bus stop. The dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench. When a bus arrives, he walks around to the front and looks at the number, then boards the bus. The butcher follows, dumbstruck.
As the bus travels out into the suburbs, the dog takes in the scenery. After awhile he stands on his back paws to push the \"stop\" button, then the butcher follows him off.
The dog runs up to a house and drops his bag on the stoop. He goes back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself -Whap!- against the door. He does this again and again. No answer. So he jumps on a wall, walks around the garden, beats his head against a window, jumps off, and waits at the front door. A big guy opens it and starts cursing and pummeling the dog.
The butcher runs up screams at the guy: \"What the hell are you doing? This dog\'s a genius!\"

Two guys bet fifty dollars each that the octopus can\'t play their instruments.
The first guy hands over his French horn and the octopus starts to play it.
The second guy hands over his tuba and sure enough the octopus starts to play it.
The bartender then walks into the back room and comes back five minutes later with a set of bagpipes and bets all the money in the drawer that the octopus wouldn\'t be able to play it. He hands over the bagpipes to the octopus and waits.
After about a minute of watching the octopus run its tentacles over the bagpipe the owner of the octopus says, \"Come on now! Play it!\"

Last summer, the local orchestra decided to play Beethoven\'s 9th symphony.
However, it being quite hot, the players were working up quite a sweat, until a neighbor let them use the ventilators in her house.
However, the wind from these ventilators was causing the notes to blow all over the place, so they had to tie them down to the note holders.
The din from the ventilators was so bad that the bassists decided it didn\'t matter if they downed a few drinks and got royally drunk.
Two of the bassists got so drunk that they pass out.
One of the violinists, in disgust, decided to go home but slipped and fell.
Thus, it was the bottom of the 9th, the bassists were loaded, the score was tied with two men out, and the fans were roaring wild when one of the players slid home. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This utta hold the little buggers till I get back (for all the upcoming birthdays in May & June)
You Know You’re Getting Older When
You constantly talk about the price of gasoline.
You don\'t know real embarrassment until your hip sets off a metal detector.
You don\'t remember being absent minded.
You don\'t remember when your wild oats turned to prunes and all bran.
You enjoy hearing about other people\'s operations.
You feel like the morning after when you haven\'t been anywhere the night before.
You finally got your head together, now your body is falling apart.
You find yourself beginning to like accordion music.
You frequently find yourself telling people what a loaf of bread USED to cost.
You get exercise acting as a pallbearer for friends who exercise.
You get winded playing chess.
You give up all your bad habits and you still don\'t feel good.
You have more patience; but actually, it\'s just that you don\'t care any more.
You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet.
You just can\'t stand people who are intolerant.
You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.
You light the candles on your birthday cake, and a group of campers form a circle and start singing \"Kumbaya.\"
You look both ways before crossing a room.
You look for your glasses for a half an hour, and then find that they were on your head all the time.
You look forward to a dull evening.
You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.
You realize that a stamp today costs more than a picture show did when you were growing up.
You run out of breath walking DOWN a flight of stairs.
You sing along with the elevator music.
You sink your teeth into a steak ...and they stay there.
You sit in a rocking chair and can\'t get it going.
You start video taping daytime game shows.
You take a metal detector to the beach.
You turn off the lights for economic rather than romantic reasons.
You wake up, looking like your driver\'s license picture.
You wear black socks with sandals.
You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don\'t even remember being on top of it.
You wonder why you waited so long to take up macramé.
You would rather go to work than stay home sick.
Your back goes out more than you do.
Your best friend is dating someone half his or her age and isn\'t breaking any laws.
Your childhood toys are now in a museum.
Your children are beginning to look middle-aged.
Your ears are hairier than your head.
Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.
Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service.
Your knees buckle and your belt won\'t.
Your little black book only contains names ending in M.D.
Your memory is shorter and your complaining is longer.
Your mind makes contracts your body can\'t keep.
Your new easy chair has more options than your car.
Your pacemaker raises the garage door when you see a pretty girl go by.
Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can\'t remember them either.
Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.
You\'re asleep, but others worry that you\'re not.
You\'re on a TV game show and you decide to risk it all and go for the rocker.
You\'re sitting on a park bench, and a Boy Scout comes up and helps you cross your legs.
You\'re suffering from Mallzheimer\'s disease. You go to the mall and forget where you parked your car.
