Hey guys,

What’s up in bonesville!

First time poster long time lurker and a big fan of the bone while also learning 2 play. My main styles are rock, meditation, and funk rock and my nouthpiece is a 24.6 diameter small shank

Does anyone have any favourite jokes about the trombone? we’ve all heard the classics (tromb*ner for example) but I’d like to have a witty retort next time someone makes fun of me for getting my ‘bone on in public.

Thanks and nice to meet you all, looking forward to making friends

Trombone player died and wound up where he didn’t expect to be. As he was being shown around he heard the most beautiful symphony music he ever heard! Shortly thereafter a pointy tailed fellow greeted him and handed him the finest gold trombone he had ever seen, and escorted him to his chair in the orchestra. 8 fairly monotonous hours into the music he asked the fellow beside him “When do we get to the coda?” The fellow glared at him and said “I’ve been playing this for 50 years. There is no coda!”

Two guys are elbow to elbow at the bar. First one says "What's your IQ"?

"200" says the other one, and they have an engaging talk about science, and calculus.

2 more guys hear that, and one says whats your IQ"? "150" says the other, and they have a discussion about politics, and taxes.

The next pair tries the same thing "What's your IQ"? "100, says his buddy, and they have a great talk about sports and TV shows.

The last 2 fellows at the bar hear all this. One wipes his nose on his sleeve and says "All right. My IQ is 75. What's yours"?

The other lummox replies "Hey! Mine is 75 also. What brand of slide cream do YOU use"?

Rehearsing out of tune strings over and over again and never quite getting to the trombone entrance. Or maybe even worse, getting to the trombone entrance and cutting off after one note.

Uh oh - I think I may be in Hell already...
