    Violin players make up so many of these viola jokes. I wonder if it is not a measure of their insecurity and jealousy at knowing how much better the viola actually sounds?

    Interesting that both Dubrovnik, Croatia, and King's Landing, Westeros, have openings in the city walls to throw banjos down on attackers!

    Now that is weapon of mass destruction! I see banjo-bass on the left side.
    But I believe the defence would do better f they played the banjo against the enemies. Just imagine it the enemies took the banjos an started playing them... Jericho 2.0...

    Why did the banjo player hang a capo from his rearview mirror?


    So he could park in the handicapped spots!

    Its like the accordion player who stopped at a diner, leaving his accordion in the trunk of his car, and after dinner when he came out, yep, he found his car had been broken into and seven more accordions were in there.
    I was hoping the banjo version of that one would be in here somewhere!

    Eh? But it is. In fact, it's the very next post, in response to this. In fact, I mean, huh?

    The problem with b***o jokes is they nearly always include the name of the consarned cotton-pickin' contraption. Even though it's in a derogatory sense, this activity keeps the notion of the nasty noisemaker alive in our minds.

    We need a PC euphemism for them. That seems to be what people do nowadays with sensitive terms. How about "SC's" (Skinheaded Chordophones)?

    I was thinking about that. Perhaps a term incorporating the drum similarity. The drum you strum, or the strummed drum, or some such. But then the whole lot of drummer jokes might get drawn in. Oof!

    A man is in court contesting a parking ticket. The judge looks at him and says
    "Do I know you?" "Yes", says the man. "I've been teaching your daughter to play
    the banjo." The judge slams down his gavel and says "Five years in the county jail."

    A man parked his car downtown and left it unlocked with his banjo in the backseat. When he returned two hours later, someone had left another banjo.

    Long time listener, first time caller.

    What’s a banjo good for? Kindling for the accordian fire!
