C, E flat and G walk into a bar. The barman says, "Sorry, but we don't serve minors". So E flat leaves and C and G share an open 5th between them. After a while the 5th is diminished and the G is out flat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation but is not sharp enough. A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me, I'll just be a second".
An A comes into the bar but the barman is not convinced this relative of C is not a minor. Then the barman notices a B-Flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims, "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in the bar tonight."
The E-Flat comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The barman, who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized, says, "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development." This proves to be the case as the E-Flat takes off the suit and everything else and stands there au natural.
Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror he is under a rest. The C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility. On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrong doing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

Sort of shorthand.

I did that, and it sounds bloody awful.
