What's the difference between a frog hopping down the street and a banjo player walking down the street?

The frog might be on his way to a gig.

They have trouble with the slide and they can't swing.

whats the difference between a drummer and a savings bond?
the savings bond eventually matures and is worth something


A guy goes on a trip to India..when he arrives he hear's this incessent drumming....and asks " what is the deal with this drumming?" the reply is "very very bad when drumming stops" (in Indian accent) so for the next 3 days he is not able to sleep and everytime he inquires he gets the same answer..."very bad when drumming stops"...so finally after being sleep deprived the man loses his cool with the front desk worker at the hotel and says " I want to know why its so bad when the drumming stops"...the hotel clerk replies, "becasue when drumming stops, then- bass solo" (or guitar solo if you prefer!)

There is no difference. They both take a lot of crap from everyone.

Old one, but a good one.

A man is walking down the street. As he goes past a bar, he sees someone mercilessly beating a small child.

The man asks, "Sir, why are you beating that child?"
He explains, "Well I'm a bass player. I was about to play a show in this bar, but this little kid turned one of my tuning keys. Now I'm out of tune and I can't play the show."
The man says, "Well certainly that's no reason to beat the poor child."
To which the bass player retorts, "But the little **** won't tell me which one he ****ed with!!!!"
