C, E-flat and G go into a bar.  The bartender says, “Sorry, but we don’t serve minors.”  So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them.  After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat.  F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.  D comes in and heads for the bathroom, saying, “Excuse me.  I’ll just be a second.”  Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.

Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, “Get out!  You’re the seventh minor I’ve found in this bar tonight.”  E-flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes.  The bartender says, “You’re looking sharp tonight.  Come on in, this could be a major development.”

Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au naturel.  Eventually, C sobers up and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest.  C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.

Did I say the bar was called Pianoteca ?  Just A minor humoresque embellishment.

Thanks a million.

I saw this quite a few years ago and didn't have the sense to copy it.  I will now.
