Sign in to disble this ad
An anthropologist is visiting a primitive society. One night, he hears drums beating in the distance. Concerned, he asks one of the tribesmen what's up with the drums. The native says "Drums ok, but if drums stop very bad--run away."
The drums beat on for an hour. Still uneasy, the anthropologist asks again if things are ok. Again, the native replies "Drums ok, but if drums stop very bad -- run away."
After another hour, the drums stop. The native stops dead in his tracks and looks up and says "Drums stop! Very bad! Run away!!"
Scared now, the anthropologist asks what happens next.
The native replies "Bass solo!" |

marriage counselors are eating lunch and discussing their difficult cases.. One says, " I had this couple, oy, they had not spoken to each other for 6 years! Not a word - total silence. But they came to me for help, and I was successful! It took me almost two years of weekly sessions, but now, they talk about everything together. I am quite proud!" "Pff", says the other, "that's nothing. I had a couple who had no talked to each other for 8 years, and I had them talking like magpies in a single session." "Amazing!", said the first counselor. "Please tell me, if you will, how did you perform such a miracle?" "Oh," the second one said, "it was quite easy. Bass solo."
da dada da da dot dot!

The native replies "Bass solo!" | I think that has been posted multiple times on the bass jokes thread (wonder where that went  ).
But why is a bass solo a thing to run away from?
