You 'prolly all heard it but still....
A young research anthropologist goes to the deepest African jungle to
study a hostile tribe. He hires the appropraite guide and bearers.
Upon arrival at the study area, he's struck by the incessant drumming
by the native tribes. After three weeks, he can't take it any more and
implores the guide take him out. But the guide assures him: "No,
drumming is good..... when drumming stops, then it gets VERY BAD".
This repeats several times, always "Drumming good, when drumming
stops, it gets VERY BAD".
Then, a week later, while sitting around the campfire, the drumming
stops completely. The anthroplogist looks around at all the faces,
and sees abject horror and terror on every face.
"SHIT!" he blurts out. "WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW?!?!?!?!"
The guide replies with a shaky voice "Drumming stopped, it gets VERY
BAD now".
"WHAT?!?!? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW??!?!?!?!"
The guide replies "Drumming stopped...... now comes ...

Yup - heard it - but then again there's probably no joke that most here have
not heard before.
So - I'll throw another out there that I'm sure many have heard before...
How do you tell when the stage is level?
The drool runs out of both sides of the bass player's mouth...

As a long time bass player, I seriously resemble that remark!
I was urged and prodded to play bass in a band once. I finally gave in and
gave it a try.
What could be so hard when you only play one note at a time?. It got boring
and I sucked at it, with no real experience.or practice.
To this day, I still have skin tears between my fingers from the fret board
being so GD long!
As a result, I can hardly reach across two octaves or play a seven note
chord with my left hand, on a key board, without pain...so I got a
Blackberry and it plays much better.
