Here you go, Al...

A couple of enterprising bass players, unwilling to sit through a long,
bass-less stretch of Beethoven's Ninth, sneaked off stage and into the bar
next door. Beer flowed; time passed. "Look at the time! We have to get
back!" said one. "Relax," said his partner, "I tied the last few pages of
the conductor's score together with string. It will take him a few minutes
to untangle it." They staggered back into the hall and took their places.
About this time, a member of the audience noted that the conductor was
breaking a sweat. "Of course," replied her companion, "It's the bottom of
the Ninth, the score's tied, and the basses are loaded!"
