This is no joke (I hope!): I just wanted to say that I really appreciate this thread. It's not necessarily that the jokes are all that new or that funny, although I have gotten a few good chuckles here. What I appreciate is that even though there has been some negativity on the board lately, this thread shows a positive side that we have gotten more light-hearted and "self-deprecating." The reason I say that is I kicked off a mandolin jokes thread about a year ago. I got some flames just for starting it and only a few jokes got posted before the thread died. I think the success of this thread shows we are making progess as an online community.
End of the soap-box. Back to the jokes!

---you put sheet music in front of him. ok thats an old one everyone knows and its not mandolin. here's another
what do you call someone who hangs around musicians?

Oh, mandolinists are always attuned to at least some degree of levity— the joke usually being on ourselves.
During one of the sessions in Carlo Aonzo's latest N.Y.C. workshop, he explained how a certain passage is to be played, giving all the technical details. We played as best we could.
Then, turning on his delightful, boyish-mischievous grin, he said: "Good enough, if you are a mandolinist; if, however, you are a musician..."
Too much seriousness is unhealthy.
It is not man that lives but his work. (Ioannis Kapodistrias)
I guy walks into a store and asks for a Grisman pick and some J-74's. #The guy behind the counter says "You must be a mandolin player". #"How can you tell?" says the customer. #The man behind the counter says "This is a hardware store!"
