The Picnic Table Joke

*This joke was told to me by another bass player.

"What's the difference between a bass player and a picnic table?... A picnic table can support a family of four."

Is it wrong that I find this joke absolutely hilarious?

It's just a variation on the old classic:

Q. What's the difference between a drummer and a large pizza?

A. A large pizza can feed a family of four.

That's not true, a drummer can feed a family of four, each gets an arm or a leg!

Considering that the first time I heard that joke, it was about another group (racist jokes are bad...). it isn't all too offensive.

What's the difference between a pigeon and a California real estate broker?


A pigeon can still make a deposit on a new Mercedes.

old muso jokes

Aussie musos tend to reply to a bassist with the accountant joke......for example you say to an axeman "what do you do if you see a guitar player drowning" A:throw in his amp...... he eyes you off over the headstock of his pernicky lil' guitar and shoots back the accountant joke......"what's a bassplayer use for a contraceptive" A:his personality.

No, I heard that one before, but it was about drummers.

And.....

While we're in old joke mode.

How can you tell if a Deadhead has stayed at your house?

Because he's still there!

Don't worry. It's ok for me to tell Deadhead jokes because I am one. Got a spare room I can stay in?

No 'Carrots' option. Poll is invalid. But really, it's just not funny.

I'm not a big fan of musician jokes, but it's probably because I heard them all 1000 times. Plugging in in case someone shows up with something new.

And I'll contribute 2.

What does a viola player use for birth control?

Her personality.

And not a musician joke, but... why to deadheads wave ther arms in front of their face when they're dancing?

to keep the music out of their eyes.

Q: How do you know if you have a female lead singer at your front door?

A: She doesn't know what key it is, and she doesn't know when to come in.
