How much for a dozen?



I know, I know, they're talking flowers, but it's such a nice visual viola joke...

Here's another one from a tremendous catalogue:

Why do violists stand for so long outside their houses?
They can't find the key and they don't know when to come in
.

And, just to be fair, one more:

A conductor and a violist are standing in the middle of the road. which one do you run over first, and why?
The conductor. Business before pleasure.


Your own favorites welcome as comments.

Oh, very nice.

This reminds me of a time a few years back when the orchestra was in Worthington, MN for a concert, and for some reason, the door to my hotel room wouldn't lock. I mentioned this to one of our violinists, Aaron Janse, who looked very concerned, and said, "Oh, man! You better be careful - you wouldn't want someone sneaking in while you're out and leaving a bunch of extra violas in there!"

Heard this one at a Wailin' Jennys concert:

What's the definition of perfect pitch? The sound of a banjo hitting an accordion in a dumpster

Love the Jennys. Heaven When We're Home is my favorite song to play on plane flights to Minnesota...

One of my favorites: How many sopranos does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. She holds the light bulb up, and the world revolves around her.
