\"Now<\/a>

Now you funny too!<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m not a joke teller. I can’t tell a joke to save my life. I think I tried to tell a joke only one time, when I was about 12. I’ve never attempted telling another joke since then. Some of you, however, can tell jokes. And do. In a recent thread, Townsman Bobby Bittman<\/strong> impressed me<\/a> with the following rock ‘n roll stand-up joke:<\/p>\n

A guy goes on vacation to a tropical island. As soon as he gets off the plane, he hears drums. He thinks, \u201cWow, this is cool.\u201d He goes to the beach, he hears the drums. He eats lunch, he hears drums. He goes to a luau, again with the drums. He tries to go to sleep, and he still hears drums.<\/p>\n

This goes on for several nights, and gets to the point where the guy can\u2019t sleep at night because of the drums. It\u2019s driving him nuts! Finally, he goes down to the front desk.<\/p>\n

When he gets there, he asks the manager, \u201cHey! What\u2019s with these drums? Don\u2019t they ever stop? I can\u2019t get any sleep!\u201d<\/p>\n

The manager says, \u201cNo! Drums must never stop! Is very, very bad if drums stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen drums stop\u2026bass solo begins.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This got me thinking: there must be more rock ‘n roll jokes, old-fashioned jokes that joke tellers can tell at parties, out there. I know there are lots of drummer jokes, which have probably been documented elsewhere, but what else have you got?<\/p>\n

I look forward to the laughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
