An oldie but a goodie...

 

Three guys show up at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter tells them that the decision as to whether or not they get to enter heaven depends on what they did with their worldly goods they had accumulated while they were on Earth.

 

The first man says, "I was a famous lawyer and I made millions of dollars. I left all of my money to my wife and children."

 

"Okay," says St. Peter, "You can come in"

 

The second man says, "I was a famous doctor and I made hundreds of millions of dollars. I left all of my money to charity."

 

"Good enough," says St. Peter, "Come on in."

 

The third man says, "To tell you the truth, I really didn't have any money to leave to anybody. I don't think I ever had more than about twenty dollars at any one time my entire life."

 

"Really?" says St. Peter. "What kind of guitar did you play?"

How do you get a guitar player to turn down? ... Put sheet music in front of him.

 

He's a high strung guitar player... and someone should string him up even higher.

That karaoke singer is going places.... last night the audience chased him down the street.

What a refreshing performance. Everyone feels refreshed when they wake up afterwards

 

 

A bass player can't decide between 3 chicks which one he should marry. After a suggestion from the band leader, he decides to give each one a thousand dollars to see what they spend the money on.

 

Chick number 1 said she bought nothing but new clothes

chick number 2 spent $500 on new clothes and put the rest in the bank

chick number 3 made investments in mutual funds

 

So the band leader asks the bass player what he decided? Bass player, "I picked the one with the biggest tits"!

My other Pearly Gates joke...

 

Three guys show up in front of St. Peter. Pete says, "We need to know what your profession was while you were alive so we can put it in our ledger."

 

The first guy says, "I was a doctor."

 

St. Peter opens the Pearly Gates and choirs of angels are singing and the doctor is illuminated by a heavenly light St. Peter says to the guy, "Welcome to Heaven, Doctor."

 

The second guy says, "I was a lawyer."

 

St. Peter again opens the gates to the angels and the light and says, "Welcome to Heaven, Counselor."

 

The third guy says, "I was a musician."

 

St. Peter says, "Okay, walk around to the side door, then go through the kitchen ..."

A musician dies and goes to Heaven, where he is directed to the heavenly night club. He sees a wonderful room, spacious stage, and an all-time all-star group of musicians. Recognizing Dizzie Gillespie, he walks over and asks "How's the gig here?" Diz says, "Well, you can see that the layout and the equipment is fine, we get fed gourmet food, the best wines and a little reefer to take the edge off."

"That sounds perfect," says the new guy. "There's just one thing," Dizzy adds. "God's got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing....

Hard rock guitarist dies, and suddenly finds himself in a band. Jimi Hendrix is sitting next to him, John Entwistle on bass, Keith Moon on drums, plenty of others sitting around. Background singers include Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston and he thinks to himself, "I must be in heaven. I don't know what I did to deserve this, I wasn't a good person, cheated my fellow musicians out of money, bedded married women too. God must be awfully forgiving".

 

Just then Karen Carpenter steps out of the control booth and says, "OK, let's take it from the top again."

How can you tell that there's a drummer at your front door? Gradually, the knocking gets faster and faster.

 

 

A C, an E-flat, and a G go into a bar. The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and the G is out flat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

 

A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second." Then an A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims, "Get out now. You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."

 

The E-flat comes back to the bar in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development." This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit and stands there au natural.

 

Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility. On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

 

The bartender decides that since he's only had tenor so patrons, with the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything becoming alto much treble, he needs a rest, and closes the bar.

The piano player in a jazz trio says to the Girl Singer:

 

"Why don't we play "Autumn Leaves" tonight, but with a new arrangement: after the 2nd verse, we add a bar of 7/4, modulate down a semitone, change tempo, do half the chorus, modulate up a minor third, go back to the verse while alternately slowing down and speeding up every three bars. Finally, the third time through the verse, we jump to the second half of the chorus at half speed, while changing key every bar."

 

Girl Singer: "Gee, Marty, that sounds like a hard arrangement!"

 

Piano Player: "Sweetheart, that's the way you sang it last night!"
