(Whole joke said in ironic tone) An underated bassist, a modest guitarist, and Santa Claus are all standing in a lift. A £10 note is on the floor. Who picks it up?
Heh, the version I heard of that was; A SMART blonde, a smart guy, The Easter Bunny and Santa Cluas are in a lift. £5 note on the floor, which one gets it. The Smart Guy, the rest, don't exist
The joke may have been adapted slightly to suit my bitterness. See my piece in the miscellaneous forum entitled "We all love to insult our guitarists"
I saw this one in the "uhh...yeah" thread: There's a five pound note on the floor. Of a thrash guitarist, a drummer who keeps good time, and a drummer who keeps bad time, who picks it up? The drummer who keeps bad time. The other drummer doesn't exist and the thrash guitarist doesn't care about notes anyway.
Luckily I speak a bit of British. Fellow Americans, note means bill, and the funny E means "pound" a name for $1.60.
Here's one that doesn't make sense but its about Talkbass. There's a badger, a lawyer, and ja doctor and theres the bill and one of them takes it. Who? The badger, he wants to test your knowledge
got another one There's a badger, my girlfriend, and john turner's 4 string bass and theres the bill and one of them takes it. Who? Because the other two don't exist.
Actually, the "funny E" symbol is for the Euro. The pound sterling is more like a funny L, as seen below: £
Its English you colonial hick! but the best version ive heard of this very very very ye olde joke, is the version from the Kevin smith film Chasing amy, theres a $20 bil lieing at the crossection of a road, there are four streets going off it, Jesus, santa clause, man hating dyke and the man friendly lesbian, which one picks it up.... any one a kevin smith fan?
"Whats a Nubian?" "three times? isnt that enough to have you thrown out by the little pink maffia?" looking forward to the Silent bob and Jay film?
how many bassplayers does it take to turn a lightbulb? none the pianist does it with his left hand. peace Chad
I loved the part with "Whats a Nubian?" Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was probably a disapointment to most people, But I am easy to please! I thought the movie was great! [email protected]
i dont think its out in Britain yet, shame, but i love those dudes, gonna try and track down some Clerks and tanky comics at the weekend (fat chance of finding any, gotta try though)
gosh, i never knew that the pound was defined totally in terms of the dollar...and there i was thinking the pound came first....
