What do you call a trombonist with a beeper?
An optimist.

What's the difference between a dead snake in the road and a dead trombonist in the road?
There are skid marks in front of the snake, or;
The snake was on his way to a gig.

Trombonist got a New Year's gig. Everything went well, the club was packed, the owner was happy. He asks the trombonist "Can you come back next New Year's Eve and do this again?"
Trombonist says "Sure! You mind if I leave my horn here until then?"

***

Trombonist left his horn in the back seat of his car and forgot to lock the door. When he came back, he was shocked to find that somebody had broken in and left another trombone...

Hey now, be nice. If it weren't for trombone players, who would viola players make fun of?

I know it's not a t-bone joke but,

Two girls in the orchestra are talking and one asks the other:

"Is that french horn player you're dating a good kisser?"

"Not really, his lips are too tight - it's like he's playing his horn. I love how he holds me, though".

A gentleman is someone who can play the trombone, but doesn't.

Man this is old...


Anyway, how can you tell which kid on the playground has a bone player for a parent?


He never swings and can't use the slide....


There's another visual joke that I'll try to describe.

You: HOW DOES A TROMBONE PLAYER PLAY ONE NOTE SAMBA?
Victim: I DON"T KNOW, HOW?

So, start singing the melody to ONE NOTE SAMBA (which of course starts out repeating a single note) all the time miming pushing and pulling the slide up down and all around for every note you articulate. Then when you get to the bridge, you pull your hand up close to your mouth and sing the whole bridge without moving the "slide"...

Slightly longer, but here goes....


A trombonist is out on a country walk. He notices a field of sheep and wanders over to the fence. upon seeing this strange man staring at his woolly quadripeds, a worried farmer makes his way over to him. "anything i could help you with?" "well....." says the trombonist, "it's just that i've always wanted a sheep of my own......." "tell you what," says the farmer, always a generous soul, "you can keep one, if you can guess how many i have in all my fields in total." so the trombonist scratches his head for a while, screws up his eyes..........."279!" he answers. "that's AMAZING!" said the farmer, astonished. "well, i'm a man of my word, so go ahead and take one." the trombonist turns to leave with the animal when the farmer says - "wait a minute. you're a trombonist, aren't you?" so the startled man replies "how on earth could you tell?"

How do you improve the aerodynamic efficiency of a trombone player's car?
