When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.

I went to the Canary Islands once... didn't see a single canary anywhere. Same thing in the Virgin Islands, though, no canaries there either!

Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac? He stayed up all night wondering if there was a Dog.

What's the difference between a bassoon and a vacuum cleaner?

Vibrato.

Vibrato.

Your vacuum cleaner can do vibrato? Cool!

The trouble with her is that she lacks the power of conversation but not the power of speech

That’s harder than slamming a revolving door.

Her only flair is in her nostrils.

Dammit, this is hilarious!

"I don't play high and loud and I get chicks all the time. Chicks like trombone players. They think the way we move our slides is sexy. The only thing sexy about a trombone player is the trumpet player who sits behind him."

When our phones auto correct to "duck" it's still fowl language.

Never teach a wolf to meditate because it will become an "aware" wolf.

You had to stand in line to hate him.

Social distancing via trombone. (I just stumbled across this. I don't know this guy.)

Why are they having this argument in a parking deck?

I'm so happy I could just fart glitter!!!

"This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read."

Whenever I practice my trombone passers like it so much they throw bricks through the windows so they can hear me better.

not my joke, this was from a British comedian called Les Dawson who famously did a skit of (very skilfully) playing the piano just badly enough so it was painful.

A trombone player and a tuba player passed by a bar....
Don't laugh! It could happen.

Yup, the bar could be closed.

It does not matter whether you win or lose, it is how the band plays.

On having a conversation with a friend of mine who is a class music teacher a few years ago about some kids' inability to play basic things in time his line was "he has as much rhythm as a Catholic rabbit".

Left me in stitches that did

It's also very easy line to throw at drummers

I'm sure you've all heard this but just in case you haven't

.... and I'm told it's true.

So, during a particularly "robust" orchestral rehearsal a 3rd desk viola player turned to the 1st trombonist and complained about the volume.

Without any hesitation the trombonist said "well, if you'd practised more you'd be sitting in the 1st desk, not the 3rd, so don't blame me!"

I do hope it's true, and I wish I'd have thought of that when we did Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs where the last 4 bars are fff with a crescendo, and I got a complaint...

When I was young I told my Grandma that when I grow up I wanted to play trombone. She told me I couldn’t do both.

... and when I was young my Mum said "Oh for goodness sake, why don't you grow up, stupid"... so I did.

... and I went to the barbers and said "My hair needs cutting badly" so he did...

My band and I were rolling down an inter-state when two rear tires blew. Dangerous. The driver told us to get off the bus immediately. As I was exiting there was a real trickster standing at the front, looking at us and singing. "You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel".

I never get any respect, any at all. My cat is a lawyer. Whenever I leave her food dish empty, she summons my contract of indenture.

My neighbor was pounding on on my front door at 3 am. How rude! Lucky for me I was still up practicing Wagner excerpts on my trombone...

What's the difference between a sax solo and an Uzi?

An Uzi only repeats 30 times,
