smilies/icon_cool.gif Real PATD fans....HAVE THIS ON THEIR PROFILE!

i saw this on another profile, read the whole thing and decided i need it i play clarinet:
Whats the best kind of trombone?
A broken one.
How do you save a trombonist from drowning?
Take your foot off their head.
How many trombonists does it take to change a lightbulb?
5: 1 to change it, and 4 to make ludicrous sexual comments.
What's the difference between a trombone section and a saxaphone section?
The Trombone's weren't meant to sound like 2 cats in a fight, but they do.
How many trombonists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None, but it's the only thing they won't screw.
What's the difference between trumpet players and government bonds?
Government bonds eventually mature and earn money.
What do trumpet players use for birth control?
Their personalities.
What did the baritone get on his IQ test?
How do you know if a baritone section is at your front door?
No one knows when to come in.
Saxophone: Saxophone players can vary. You can get all different shapes and sizes of saxophones that it's not even funny! Basically, what all saxophone players have in common is they're all gifted. But beware of trumpet players for their music is not always as cool as yours. Compatibility: Clarinets, other saxophones, French horns, trombones, and baritones are OK, trumpets are a no, no.
Why are trombones best in bed?
trumpets do it w/ 3 fingers,
baritones do it with four,
but trombones know all the positions!
Trombones are like sex,
you put lubricants on the hard part,
and the faster you play with it, the harder it gets.
In the end, stuff comes out of the tip.
How many alto saxophone players does it take to change a lightbulb?
What's the difference between a saxophone and a lawnmower?
The neighbors get upset when you borrow a lawnmower and don't return it.
Band members are dirty...
they blow brass and suck wood all day. They're always talking about how good they are with their fingering. And some can double, or even triple tongue, and don't get me started on flutter tongueing. Not to mention, all this talk about sax practice and trom-boners. And they say, the people with the biggest "instruments" come out of their closet every day, with their horn polished....perverts.
Timpani are like some people. They're open to others, and they're fun to bang.
Bob is fun to blow. I need to work on my technique, though. I need to figure out where my arms go, how to hold him, and my tounging needs work. Oh, well. He lets me take it nice and slow. At least he's not as hard to play as Steven. You need lips to blow on him. Joe is fun to finger. I learn a lot from him, and I take him with me everywhere. People just stare at me when I walk past them with him around me, but I don't care. Bob and Steven are my first loves. Bob was $100, and Steven was over $400. It was worth it though. (Bob is my Bundy, Steven is my Selmer, and Joe is my guitar)
When you're too low, push in, when you're too high, pull out....
How many times does a trumpet player laugh at a joke?
Twice. Once when he/she hears once when he/she gets it.
How Do You Confuse a Drummer?
By Putting a sheet of music in front of them.
How do you get a percussionist off your doorstep?
Pay for the pizza.
Save a Drum, Bang a Drummer
The difference between the band's mess ups and yours...Ours are in step.
Band Food Chain

Band Director
Trumpets/French Horns
Saxs/Alto Sax
Director's Wand
Sheet Music
The Band Director's tie
I'd finger,blowand tongue you any day my beautiful instrument.
Finally i made a B-flat on my test! i mean... B minor i mean....B minus!
Woodwinds may be smart... But percusionists have more fun
Whats the one thing all trumpet players have in common?
Their ego is bigger than their ability
what's the difference between a dead deer in the road, and a dead bass player in the road?
There will be skid marks in front of the deer
Practice Save Sax: Use a Neckstrap
Yeah we have to count rests and notes and we have to blend with, not only our section, but with other instruments, too. We have to sit tall to get our sound in tune. Keep our minds focused on the music and make sure it doesn’t get notey. We have to make the sound dark and chocolaty, and push all the air out of out lungs. We have to look at the Band Director when the tempo changes and look at the key signature if that changes so the notes are accurate. We can do ALL of this at the same time and we find it easy.
My clarinet secretly doubles as a lightsaber
The soprano, not being smart enough to use birth control, says to her saxophophonist lover, "Honey, I think you better pull out now."
He replies, "Why? Am I sharp?"
Why is the French horn a divine instrument?
These two tuba players walk past a bar...
Well, it could happen!
how many trumpets does it take to replace a lightbulb?
none. were the ones who made the first one explode
Why were Tubas invented?
For Hide-and-Seek games
What is the bad thing about being a female trumpeter?
The flute section constantly bugs you about keeping away from thier boyfriend, like you have any intrest in a guy who spends his day making kissy faces at himself.
A trumpet player goes up to a group of flute playing girls and says "Hi!". The Flute players all stare at him, eyes wide in shock. One of them whispers "He must be the bright one, he can talk."
Two (and an Alto). One soprano to break it (and every other bulb in the box), one soprano to wonder what happened, and the alto to buy a new box and change the bulb.
If a male trumpet player says something in the woods and there are no female band members around to hear it is he still wrong?
Two trombone players meet. One says "Hi!!! Your better than me." The other says "Hi!!! No, your better, you should take my first part."
Two trumpet players meet. The first says "Hi, I'm better than you." The other just looks on in obvious disgust.
