What's the difference between a snake run over in the middle of the road and a trombone player run over in the middle of the road?



































































(Wait for it)







































































































(Here it comes)












































































(Probably not worth it)


































































































The snake was on his way to a gig.

That's funny because my buddy who plays bone delivers Pizzas during the summer when he's not working as a band director.

What's the difference between a dead trombonist and a dead squirrel in the road?
The squirrel might have been on its way to a gig.

Why did the tuba player switch to the drums?
Because he couldn't read the music.

What's the difference between a bone player an Kenny G?????
You can actually stand a bone solo!

Why wouldn't Kenny G have a bone player in his band???
He wouldn't want some one who could play in tune better than he could.

A bone play and Kenny G get into a fight....who would win??
Hello??!?!?!?! The bone player!!! Kenny G is a F@G!!!!!

Some ( not all) Trombonists ( tromboner?) deserve to be bashed. I work with a lot of freelance players and some are as true to the stereotype as can be. I work with a big band that has a steady stream of them coming in and out and its always amusing. One brought his tuxedo to the gig in a plastic grocery bag. One who will remain nameless* has been a thorn in the side of just about everyone he encounters: he ruined a live video shoot by standing up after a tune and saying" I don't think that was very good, can we do another?" on camera! We all were told, one runthrough, no second takes. I have dozens of embarassing stories about him, accumulated over the years. He's also a teacher in my school district and has singlehandedly killed the music program in my district. Schools don't want him back, union says you can't fire him for being an a$$hole, so the schools excess the whole music program just to get rid of him. He's such an idiot that his website doesn't have a link for email, just a phone number.
While we're on the subject:
How can you tell the trombone players kids in the playground?
They can use the slide, but they just can't swing






*Frank Pedulla, cant remain nameless forever, chump
