 Taking a break from long tones....

C, E-flat and G entered a bar.


The bartender said, “Sorry, I don’t serve minors.”


The E-flat left and the C and G had an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth was diminished and the G was out flat.


An F entered and tried to augment the situation but was not sharp enough.


A D entered and excused himself to the bathroom, saying, “I’ll just be a second.”


An A entered but the bartender wasn’t convinced that this relative of C was not a minor.


Then the bartender noticed a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar. “Get out, right now!” he exclaimed. “You’re the seventh minor I’ve found in this bar tonight.”


The next night the E-flat returned to the bar in a 3-piece suit.


The bartender said, “You’re looking sharp tonight. This could be a major development. “


This was the case, when the E-flat took off the suit and everything else to stand there au naturale.


Eventually, the C sobered up and realized in horror that he was under a rest.


He was brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and was sentenced to ten years of D.S. without the possibility of a Coda.


On appeal, he was found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, because the accusation was bassless.


The bartender decided he needed a rest – and closed the bar!

- "An F entered and tried to augment the situation but was not sharp enough." -

But surely he could have improvised?
