"C, E-flat and G Walk into a Bar"

C, E-flat and G go into a bar. The bartender says, “sorry, but we don’tserve 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 andtries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.D comes in and heads for the bathroom saying, “Excuse me. I’ll just be asecond.” Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that thisrelative of C is not a minor.Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, “Getout! 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 shinedshoes. The bartender says, “you’re looking sharp tonight. Come on in, thiscould be a major development.”Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is aunatural.Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest. C isbrought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, andis sentenced to 10 years of D. S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.
