[These were so bad from our week of animal puns that we saved them for our
monthly "Worst First" pun entry]

We put an unopened container in the microwave. The kangaroo and finally
exploded.

A scientist tested his time machine on a large beast of burden. He called
the experiment ‘yak to the future’.

My car had to be toad when it got stuck in the mud.

People with unconventional religious beliefs often congregate insects.

When you play the commodities market, it is often necessary to hedgehogs.

[Week of musical puns ends by making fun of the names of some of the dead
white men who inhabit the pages on the violin stands. A Grif.Net reader
suggested I get a new staff of writers or refrain totally. LOL.]

Top mottos:
1. “If it’s not Baroque, don’t fix it”
2. “Too Hot to Handel”
3. “Bach in a Minuet. Offenbach Sooner.”
4. “At the Store, Take your Chopin Liszt”

~~
Jefferson and others composed the Declaration of Independence, but John
Hancock provided the key signature.

~~
Why couldn’t Mozart find his teacher? Because he was always Haydn.

~~
What are Beethoven and his contemporaries doing as they listen to today’s
rap music?
Decomposing.

~~
No matter how that Russian opera is performed, it always seems Godunov.

~~
Meanwhile Bach at the chorale.

[In spite of public demand, here are more really lame musical word plays and
puns.]

~~
I didn’t want my kids to join the student-led a-cappella group. I’ve never
been a fan of unaccompanied minors.

~~

I knew you were treble when you walked in. You’re so easily led that I’m
sure you’d jump off a clef if your friends did it first.

~~
Just a note, some of these fall a little flat. The key to this is to make it
sound all natural, so only the sharp people get it. I mean, play it low key;
there’s no need to jazz it up TOO much.

~~
Some people can’t keep up with the tempo of all these jokes, after all music
jokes aren’t everyone’s forte. Harping on and on about it can get people
frustrated. (I choose to only use the fifth of all the jokes I can come up
with).

~~
I’m leaving this conversation at a low note. Though life without music would
b flat.

[More terrible music puns gleaned from writing of high school band and
orchestra teachers]

I like how you conduct your business but I think I’ve found a snare in your
plan. We have to work in concert with other professionals.

~~
I don’t mean to harp on you about it. Just pitch the idea to me tomorrow. On
a high note, however, I encourage us all to guitar act together.

~~
Are you calling me a lyre? I got caught tambourine with the security
settings. Everything built up with a crescendo until the system went mute.

~~
Don’t use that tone with me; that’s not really my forte. I didn’t mean to
de-bass your comment.

~~
Well that was off-key, and I wouldn’t repeat it if I were you. I know you
didn’t mean to harmony one, but if you’re going to accompany the first
violin you have to meter half way.

[Thought we'd end the month on a high note of low humor from the band room
in the high school]

A parent didn’t want her kids joining school band or orchestra and risk
being exposed to so much sax and violins. She thought it could only lead to
treble.

~~
I’ve had to scale back because we just don’t have the staff for sending all
these notes. And many of our volunteers just don’t measure up.

~~
Almost ready for the concert in another minuet or two. The only major
development are the expected minor setbacks.

~~
Hey – give it a rest, ritard. Can’t you reed? You’re not really in tune
with what’s going on, are you? This was just a prelude to a repeat offense.

~~
Now, I’ve been told I’m pretty sharp and clef-er, but those sort of music
jokes always fall flat.

[After a week of silly jokes, I need to settle down my mind to the realities
of life. Storms come. Winds of adversity blow. Wash your mind out with some
of these pithy truths. I did.]

“When you are going through difficult times and wonder where God is,
remember that the teacher is always quiet during a test.”

~~
“To have God in our life doesn’t mean sailing in a boat with no storms. It
means having a boat that no storm can sink.”

~~
“I am thankful for all those who said NO. Because of them I did it myself.”
(Albert Einstein)

~~
“If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.”
(Lucius Seneca)

~~
“A bend in the road is not the end of the road … unless you fail to make
the turn.”

~~
“I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders.”
(Jewish Proverb)

~~
“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.”
(William G.T. Shedd)

~~
“Speak little. Hold to your own nature. A strong wind does not blow all
morning, a cloudburst does not last all day. The wind and rain are from
Heaven and earth and even these do not last long; how much less so the
efforts of man?”
(Lao Tzu, Tao-Te King)

~~
“Only when it is dark enough can you can see the stars.”
[Ralph Waldo Emerson]

~~
“Sometimes when you think the storm is coming to rain on your parade, it’s
actually there to water your garden.”
(Rob Hill)

A college student was in a philosophy class which had a discussion about
God’s existence. The professor presented the following logic:

“Has anyone in this class heard God?” Nobody spoke.
“Has anyone in this class touched God?” Again, nobody said a word.
“Has anyone in this class seen God?” For a third time, no answer.

So the professor smugly stated, “Then we can conclude there is no God.”

One student thought a moment, and then asked for permission to reply.
Curious to hear this bold student’s response, the professor granted it, and
the student stood up and asked the following questions of her classmates:

“Has anyone in this class heard our professor’s brain?” Silence.
“Has anyone in this class touched our professor’s brain?” Absolute silence.
“Has anyone in this class seen our professor’s brain?” No one dared to speak

So the student concluded, “Then, according to our professor’s own rule of
logic, it must be true that our professor has no brain!”

No report was given of the grade the student received for that class. But
she’d get an “A” in my book.

[I've always wanted to make a Grif.Net full of one-liners about cows but
I've been afraid I'd butcher it.]

Cows only make noise when they’re in the mood.

I was told that a cow with short legs gives dragon milk.

Calves take well to bottle feeding since one nipple is as good as an udder.

Maybe I shouldn’t focus on cow jokes. It’s better to be seen and not herd.

To err is human, to moo bovine.

Is it true that Alaskan cows give cold cream?

Milking a cow is easy. Almost any jerk can do it.

Is a field of happy cows called “laughing stock”?

My new motto? Seize every opportunity for a cow joke and milk it for all its
worth.

But don’t forget to cow-nt your blessings today!
