The bartender says: &#8220;Sorry, but we  don&#8217;t serve minors.&#8221; 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: the G is out flat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.<\/p>\n<p>A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, &#8220;Excuse me. I&#8217;ll just be a second.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.<\/p>\n<p>Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: &#8220;Get out now!

This could be a major development.&#8221; This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au naturel.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he&#8217;s under a rest.

On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.<\/p>\n<p>The bartender decides, however, that since he&#8217;s only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest &#8212; and closes the bar.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blame B.
