|Now, I like a good joke as much as the next person, but what I
|don't like are these instrument/musician jokes that could be
|applied to ANY instrument/instrumentalist. For example,
|take the joke:
|Q: How do you get two clarinetists to play in
|tune?
|A: Shoot one of them.
|This joke could be applied to ANY instrument.
|MOST of the jokes are of this variety - really just too generic.

I would like to point out that the joke you used as an example is not too
generic, but did put it out of context. It is:

How do you get two piccolos to play in tune?
Shoot one.

The reason is that piccolos are very hard to tune, but if you used something
like clarinet, etc... which aren't too hard to tune, it makes it ddifferent.
