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 G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes in and heads for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second." Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight." E-Flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "you're looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural. Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.

This is the best play on " Music Theory Terminology: that I have ever heard !!!!! You put a BIG smile on my face. I can't wait to pass it on to some of my friends, especially Jerry, the PhD. music teacher/ Pianist. lenny_d Junior Username: lenny_d Post Number: 26 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Monday, November 02, 2009 - 9:03 pm:    <likes...> herbbone New Username: herbbone Post Number: 9 Registered: 5-2011 Posted on Wednesday, June 08, 2011 - 4:17 pm:    Love it. artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1518 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, June 08, 2011 - 6:45 pm:    Excellent, Thanks Mike! hydrargyrum Senior Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 1007 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 12:50 pm:    That made me snicker and snort.
