Title: I hadn't heard this one....

From The Jazz Guitar Gazette  
 
C, E-flat and G go into a bar. The bartender says, sorry,
but we don't serve minors. So E-flat leaves, and C and G
have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the
fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries
to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.
 
D comes in and heads for the bathroom saying, Excuse me.
I'll just be a second. Then A comes in, but the bartender
is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.
Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the
bar and says, Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found
in this bar tonight.
 
E-Flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with
nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, you're looking
sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major
development. Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit
and everything else, and is au natural.
 
Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's
under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of
contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced
to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional
facility.

AWESOME!  
             Thanks Mike !!
This is the best play on  Music Theory Terminology: that I have ever heard !!!!!  You put a BIG smile on my face. I can't wait to pass it on to some of  my friends, especially  Jerry, the PhD. music teacher/ Pianist.

That made me snicker and snort.  Music theory jokes for the win!
