A respectful rebuttal from tbird.

I post tbirds comments as a rebuttal to my assessment of John Lennon's post Beatles career.  Just for the record I find drummer jokes funny as hell.  I stand by what I said in the post.  Just because I'm not a world renowned musician/songwriter doesn't mean my critique isn't valid.  Anyway, most music critics don't have any musical talent themselves.  Probably even less than........drummers.   Haha.  One final thought, drummers might be stupid but there is always at least one woman in the crowd that only wants the drummer.

Hey gang, just to put TFG's thoughts about musician John Lennon's post Beatle career in perspective, remember The Funeral Guy proudly confesses to being, of all things, A DRUMMER!

Some drummer jokes:

What do you call a drummer with half a brain?
Gifted.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do drummers have 1/2 ounce more brains than horses?
So they don't disgrace themselves during the parade.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?
A drummer.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What did the drummer get on his IQ test?
Drool.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do bands have bass players?
To translate for the drummer.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can you tell a drummer is walking behind you?
You can hear his knuckles dragging on the ground.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the difference between a drummer and a drum machine?
You only have to punch the information into the drum machine once.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They have machines to do that now.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you hear about the bass player who locked his keys in the car?
He had to break a window to get the drummer out!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We know a guy who was so dumb his teacher gave him two sticks and he became a drummer, but lost one and became a conductor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What do you call a drummer who's lost his girlfriend?
A: Homeless.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A guy wanted to play bass in a band. The band told him, "Okay, but you will have to have 1/3 of your brain removed." So the guy went into surgery. When he woke up, the doctor said, "I'm terribly sorry, but we made a mistake and accidentally removed 3/4's of your brain!" The guy said, "Uh, that's okay. Got some sticks?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why are orchestra intermissions limited to 20 minutes?
So they don't have to retrain the drummers.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know when a drummer is knocking at your door?
The knock always slows down.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you get a drummer to play an accelerando?
Ask him to play in 4/4 at a steady 120 bpm.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If thine enemy wrong thee, buy each of his children a drum.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I asked my drummer to spell "Mississippi"...
He said, "the river or the state?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know if a drummer's platform is level?
The drool comes out of both sides of his mouth.

  1. Thats ok, TFG, we know you are not a renowned musician/songwriter or you would not be burying stiffs for a living! You can, however, write.
    I like this quote from Hemingway on the subject:"The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in shock-proof shit-detector."
    I think you have that in spades!
