This was forwarded to me by Mashal Hawkins. I can't believe that this 
is the first time that I saw this. I imagine some may have seen it 
before but even so I'm sure you'll agree that it's very 
clever.......... :-))

C, E-flat, and 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; 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 bar tender says: "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This 
co 
uld 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 naturel.

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 he needs a rest - and closes the bar.
