Joke for ya

Harvested from the double bass humor forum.

An anthropologist was surveying a small tribe of people on a tropical island and on the first day he noticed the distant sound of drumming. As the day wore on the drumming continued and finally he pulled the leader of the tribe aside and asked what it was all about. The tribal leader replied:

"When drumming stops, bad thing happens."

Days passed and the drumming continued and the anthropologist brought it up for a second time and the tribal leader promptly responded:

"When drumming stops, bad thing happens."

And then one day the drumming stopped and the anthropologist ran to the tribal leader's tent frantically calling out, "Chief, Chief, the drumming stopped, the drumming stopped!"
And the chief said:

"Oh, no. Time for bass solo."
 
Actually, it goes something like this:

A man took a vacation to a distant island, and when he got off he heard drumming. He though, "Yeah! This is cool!" And he set off to do activities. He heard it when he was playing beach volleyball, when he was eating, and when he was showering before bed. When he was trying to go to sleep it got very annoying, so he went downstairs and asked the guy at the counter, "Will this drumming ever stop?"

The clerk responded, "No! When drumming stops bass solo begins!!"
