I got this from a newsgroup recently. Enjoy!
. . I recently came across a great site for jokes about musicians. It's . maintained by the Fitchell Guitar School and the URL is . http://members.aol.com/mrfrets/fgs/jokes.htm . . There's more than enough ammo to piss off every member of your band, . orchestra, or choir... . . except for harmonica players. There were no jokes about harmonica . players (or is it self-evident?). Anyway I thought up these jokes while . driving home tonight (there was a lot of traffic). They're original in . the sense no one told them to me -- like my solos they "borrow" heavily . from other more original minds. . . Hope you like 'em. If not I don't care. I've been playing harmonica for . almost 30 years, so I'll say whatever the hell I please about harmonica . players. . . And now the jokes: . . Q: Why do dogs howl when harmonica players play? . A: They're trying to tell them how the song goes. . . Q: What do you call a harmonica player's accompanist? . A: Fido . . Q: What do the best harmonica players have in common? . A: They all suck. . . Q: What do you call a harmonica player who doesn't step all over the . singer's lines? . A: Deceased. . . Q: What do you say at the end of a great harmonica solo? . A: Thank God. . . Q: How many harmonica players does it take to screw in a light bulb? . A: 5. One to screw it in and four to determine if it should be in . straight or cross position. . . Q: What do you call a harmonica player who says he knows what notes . he's playing? . A: Liar. . . Q: Why do harmonica players say they play a "harp"? . A: So you won't think they play a "harmonica". . . or: . . A: Because "harmonica" is a four-syllable word. . . Q: Which is better: electric guitar or harmonica? . A: Electric guitar. You can't beat a harmonica player to death with a . harmonica. . . Q: What do you call a harmonica player in a brand new suit? . A: Dearly departed. . . Like I say: Joke 'em if they can't take a f#$%! . . Jimbeau .
