> A C, an E-flat, and a G go into a bar. The bartender says: "Sorry, but
> we don't serve minors." So the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an
> open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth 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." Then an A comes into the bar, but
> the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.
> Then the bartender 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 this bar
> tonight."

> The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night
> in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender (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, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a
> rest. The C is brought to trial, is 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 wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to
> the contrary are bassless.

> The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so
> patrons, with the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become
> altoo much treble, he needs a rest, and closes the bar.
