A MUSICAL STORY

[Harold_Z]

Early one day, a C, an E-flat, and a G go into a bar. The bartender

says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors."

So the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them.

After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and the G is out flat. An F

comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

Later, a D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom

saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second."

Then an A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that

this relative of C is not a minor.

Then the bartender noti ces a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and

exclaims, "Get out now.

You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."

The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in

a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes.

The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his company

downsized) says, "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could

be a major development."

This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and

everything else, and stands there au natural.

Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a rest.

The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the

diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda

at an upscale correctional facility.

On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even

accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so

patrons, with the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become

alto much treble, he needs a rest, and closes the bar.

It's nice to hear a musical story that goes all the way through without modulating for the "big finish'.

I hate that shit.
