^From there. The 3 jokes listed are:
How many clarinetists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Only one, but he'll go through a whole box of bulbs before he finds just the right one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the definition of "nerd?"
Someone who owns his own alto clarinet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you call a bass clarinetist with half a brain?
Gifted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got the first one (and enjoyed it) but I don't get the second two. Unless they're saying that all Bass Clarinetists are stupid, then I get the 3rd one, I guess. What's the second one supposed to be about?

A few more, copied and pasted from different websites (some may repeat, and only about half are funny. Hell, even a few are ripped out of instrument context and aren't funny at all).
[ snipped - List the appropriate links, rather than copy verbatim - GBK ]
[ Also - we already have an extensive list in the BBoard ... Mark C. ]

Google provides "all"--Thanks, Jo.
Now, all I have to worry about is playing Rhapsody in Blue for a couple of thousand people this July 4th evening with our Beloit/Janesville (WI-USA) Symphony. Ah yes, isn't clarinetting simply pure and unrelenting gliss...............(LOL)
OK--sorry, just trying to be funny, as this was supposed to be a clary joke thread. Gotta go now and find a reed (as usual).

Sorry 'bout that, GBK and MC. Still curious as to what those bottom two mean, though...
And though it sounds like everyone's already looked it up - buttershots is a butterscotch-flavoroed alcoholic drink. I'm still in high school, and so have not ever touched alcohol, but liked the quote. I'm sure if I ever decide to go get drunk, it'll be the first drink that I try!

well, the third joke means that if a bass clarinetist has half a brain he is gifted because most have less than half a brain. this joke is the second least funny joke i've ever heard.
the only joke that is even less funny is the second joke. it basically means that if you have an alto clarinet you are a nerd, which even if it was true, is still not funny at all.
i really didn't think there could be such bad jokes, but i guess there are.
