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 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 returns 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.
