[Dixielandjazz] Funny, but Jazz related!

A Funny Story.

Dear Abby,
My parents live in the suburb of Philadelphia and one of my sisters, who
lives in Benson Hurst, is married to a transvestite. My Father and Mother
have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana and are
currently dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Jersey
City. One is an escapee from Bellevue Institution in New York City, but
that s besides the point. I have two brothers, one who is currently
serving a non-parole life sentence in Attica, for the rape & murder of a
teenage boy in 1994, the other currently being held in the Wellington
Remand Center on charges of incest with his three children. I have
recently become engaged to marry a former Thai prostitute who lives in the
Bronx and indeed is still a part-time  working girl" in a brothel,
however, her time there is limited as she has recently been infected with
an STD. We intend to marry as soon as possible and are currently looking
into the possibility of opening our own brothel, with my fiancé e utilizing
her knowledge of the industry working as the manager. I am hoping my two
sisters would be interested in joining our team. Although I would prefer
them not to prostitute themselves, at least it would get them off the
streets and hopefully, the heroin. I love my fiancé e and look forward to
bringing her into the family. Of course, I want to be totally honest with
her, so, my problem is this: should I tell her I'm a Dixieland jazz
musician?
