A theme proposed

I propose an October post from each of us whereupon we may offer our viola-joke free variations with words of wisdom for Amy as she embarks on her sure to be fabulous college career.

Since it would be strange for Amy to offer herself advice, perhaps she can post some musings on what she hopes to take away from college this year.

Who's with me?

A big improvement

A violist just got plain fed up. He was sick of the jokes and the lack of respect, and he decided it was time to switch to a different instrument. So he went down to the local music store and browsed around. He wanted something so far removed from the viola that no one would ever remember he had played such a silly thing. After much deliberation he finally settled on it: a big old accordion sitting in the corner.

It seemed like a big improvement to the violist, so he went over to the shopkeeper. “Hi,” he said. “I’d like to buy the big accordion in the corner over there.”

The shopkeeper looked at him. “I’m sorry, sir, which accordion?”

“The big one, in the corner.” He pointed.

“You’re a violist, aren’t you?” said the shopkeeper.

“Yes,” said the accused, surprised, “how did you know?”

“Well,” said the shopkeeper, “you just tried to buy the radiator.”
