You might notice that there are very few jokes about the clarinet. This is out of sympathy. The clarinet has already been the butt of so many jokes - the saxophone, for instance.
- How many alto sax players does it take to change a lightbulb?
- Five. One to change the bulb and four to contemplate how David Sanborn would have done it.
- What’s the difference between a saxophone and a lawn mower?
-
- Lawn mowers sound better in small ensemles.
- The neighbors are upset if you borrow a lawnmower and don’t return it.
- The grip.
- What’s the difference between a baritone saxophone and a chain saw?
- The exhaust.
The soprano, not being smart enough to use birth control, says to her saxophophonist lover, “Honey, I think you better pull out now.”
He replies, “Why? Am I sharp?”
Small wonder we have so much trouble with air pollution in the world when so much of it has passed through saxophones.
