Why do trombone players make better lovers?
Seven positions, need i say more...
A Jew, an Italian, and a Mormon walk into a ..... no maybe some other time.
ahh... i know...
Geno Snyder, Caputo, and Dana walk into a bar and pull up a stool. (for the
joke's sake, let's pretend Caputo isn't a lad) After several rounds of whole
milk, Mike gets a little nutty and tells the bar that he's a leprachaun and
will grant anyone three wishes if they give up their date and go home with him.
Meanwhile, Dana and Geno are getting quite acquainted, and Super Sean busts
through the door, with Dave Segal's cleanly sliced head under his arm. Caputo
shits his pants, while sitting on his new date's lap, Dana runs to the door,
slips on pints glass, rolls across the room cartoon style (on the glass), and
goes past Sean strait out the door. Then a mushroom walks into the bar sits
down and orders a drink. The bartender sayd , "Sorry, we don't serve your kind
here." The mushroom, looking quite discontent, returns, "Oh come on.... I'm a
fun guy!!"
how's that for a waste of time.... I have no finals today!!!

Support your local scene dammit!!
Two reasons, I'd say:
1) They play delicate, easily-destroyed instruments which cost a lot of
money. With the crowd they draw at their shows, they run the risk of being
belted by flying feet, fists, heads, etc. In addition to damage to their
horns, they've got to worry about hurting their lips. This can sideline a
horn player for a long time;
2) Though they are good horn players, they suffer from the Third Wave-three
horns in unison curse, and therefore, belong in the back. If their parts were
more interesting/intricate, I'd be more interested in seeing them. Goes with
the territory... Wait - I take that back. I actually heard - GOD FORBID - on
their latest album - HORN HARMONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't typpp haffing

Hey retard, the correct joke is "what is the difference between an
orchestra and a bull? the bull has the horns in the front and the asshole
in the back." This is referring to a conductor. Your joke makes no
sense.

Damn, Aaron... you win. If anyone else has more positions than you, I'd be

oh please. all you string players (including the piano players) speaking of all
the positions you have... only the slide trombone has "positions" ... everyone
else has "fingerings" .. and whatever the hell the piano has (don't tell me you
play "fifth position Eb" [i don't know if that's possible on a trombone, but as
an example] on the piano....?)
dance on!
- pasha
Wouldn't a trumpet/cornet/valve trombone have 8 positions...3 valves,
open or closed for each gives two positions for each. 2*2*2=8, right?
Some are probably redundant (I'm not a horn player, so don't blame me)

Nope. I've been meaning to put my two cents in here for a while. A
trombone is the only instrument that has "positions", as in "positions on
the slide". A trumpet or other valved instruments have fingerings.
A trombone with an F Attachment has 13 positions.
All this "I play the guitar, I do it in more positions" stuff is
crap...the ultimat "guitar players do it..." is
"guitar players do it with a power chord" or
"guitar players do it with a whammy bar"
(both mike caputo originals)
-Mike Caputo
Well, to tell the truth, string instruments DO have positions. Ya see, the
first way you learn to play is called first position, then you start moving
your hand up the fingerboard, so that in second position, your first finger is
where your second finger was in first position, in third position, your first
finger is where your third finger was in first position, and so on... here's a
crappily drawn diagram, using the violin as an example:
1st position:
---1---2-3---4---------- E string
---1---2-3---4---------- A string
---1---2-3---4---------- D string
---1---2-3---4---------- G string
2nd position:
-------1---2-3---4------ E string
-------1---2-3---4------ A string
-------1---2-3---4------ D string
-------1---2-3---4------ G string
3rd position:
---------1---2-3---4---- E string
---------1---2-3---4---- A string
---------1---2-3---4---- D string
---------1---2-3---4---- G string
and so on. On viola, cello, and bass, it works the same as on the violin, but
on guitar, it works a bit differently. First position on guitar is when your
first finger is at the first fret, second position is when your first finger is
at the second fret, and so on. On the piano, however, I don't know if each of
the keys would be considered positions... I always thought they were just keys,
but I don't play, so I don't know how it really works.
NWH
(in 2nd or 3rd place with 38 positions, depending on whether or not you count
the piano)

Q: What's the difference between a jazz musician and a bum?
A: Sunglasses.
My jazz musician friend told me these. There were some others about
trombonists that I forgot. I don't know where all the bad feelings
towards their kind come from, but then again I haven't touched my sax in
two years, so I'm not up to date on the horn scene.

I find this to be a great joke... but you have told us the "traditional"
viola/onion joke. It is easy to pimp up to make funnier. Here goes...
q: What's the difference between an onion and a viola player.
a: people cry when they cut up an onion.
It's got a little more misdirection there... (the punchline involves the
onion, not the viola player) Also, I don't have much against the actual
*viola*. It's just some pieces of wood glued together. You need this
joke to imply the murder of a viola player... making the humor flow even
more.
Mike "King of Komedy" Caputo
Thanks for the suggestion, Mike. I'm trying to start a war between the viola
section and the first violin section in my orchestra, so each day I plan on
writing a viola joke on the chalkboard... I like your version better than mine,
mind if I use it?
NWH
(just one of many violist-loathing first violinists)
yes, I mean... no. Though, if you give credit to Mike "King of Komedy"
Caputo I'd be honored.
(the joke isn't a caputo original... but I tweaked it good.)
-Mike Caputo
No problem, I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Thanks again.

Sure, but no trombones - I have lots of friends that play the 'bone. I'm
probably gonna take out our clarinets, bassoons and french horns, too... none
of them can play, either! If anyone else has any instruments they want me to
take out, just ask.
NWH
(who's pissed cuz we were in the auditorium today, so there wasn't anyplace to
write a viola joke)
oh, no. trombones aren't part of the deal. i'll put out a personal contract on
our bass bone player, because the others are just fine.
> I'm probably gonna take out our clarinets
heyyyy.... don't do that, i play clarinet!
>none of them can play, either!
well, in that case, take our first clarinet section and send your clarinet
players to our band. then all the clarinets in our band will suck, and you'll
have good ones in yours (3 Bb clarinets, one Bb / Eb clarinet, and one Bb /
bass clarinet player in our band who are actually good)
>NWH
dance on!

Ok, taking out the bass 'bone player is fine, all my friends play the regular

Hmm... I just might take you up on that offer. How long do you think it would
take you to kidnap, package, and send your clarinet players to us? On second
thought, never mind, one of ours is graduating this year, so hopefully we'll
get a good one next year... I wouldn't take out clarinet players anyway, my
girlfriend plays, just not with orchestra, oh well, what ya gonna do...
