Music Theory

[rogerg]

C, E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says,
"Sorry, but we don't serve minors."
So, E-flat leaves, and C and 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.  A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying,
"Excuse me. I'll just be a second."
An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices 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 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 wrong doing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

I say!
DS is jolly nice chap, and couldn't possibly be considered a punishment - with or without coda  

[D S]

He he - I noticed that one too but decided I'd let it pass!  8-)

[For those that don't know, as well as being my initials, in musical terms DS means Dal Signo or 'repeat from the sign', which looks like this]


Nice find, Roger - very clever.  Whoever wrote it must have spent a lot of time thinking all that up!

[Sean]
