If you liked that one, try this one:

A friend of mine went to the local zoo. He reported back that all they had there was one dog and no other animals
He said it was a Shih Tzu

That's one way to lube your valves.

How many times can you tear a sheet of paper in half?
Once. After that it would be quarters, eighths, sixteenths, etc.

How many letters are there in the word, Deed?
Two. Well, the other two are repeats

"Sing a scale," said my teacher, years ago.
I sang "do re mi fa sol la ti do."
"At least you got the words right," he said.

Well, it’s so, not sol. Sorry. Almost right.

Oh, say it isn't so. All my life it's been so.
And yet, I knew about solfege, too. I guess I was going by the sound of music version. And is "sol" a needle pulling thread, I ask?

Sol what?

(Miles' Italian version.)

Owwwwwwwwch
Immediate dismissal for that band director too. They had no chance of playing that properly. I am pretty certain they didn’t nail it in practice and then get stage fright....

Miles Davis at his best.

Another awesome performance by Clapton. (These are classic - I laugh so hard I literally have tears rolling down my face.)

Unfortunately it reminded me of a band concert I played in this past Sunday at a nursing home to help celebrate Mother’s Day, but that’s another story.

In another vein, I recently called an old Engineering buddy of mine and asked what he was working on these days.

He replied that he was working on "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum and steel under a constrained environment."

I was impressed until, upon further inquiry, I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife's supervision.

I love these, Patrick. But I don’t remember giving you permission to use my recordings of me.
I saw one of Wynton doing Cherokee which had me so fooled at first ( not a big stretch ) but gradually more and more clams came out. The thing that made it so convincing was that it was so well synced, the fingers moved and the notes lined up perfectly.
