You've heard of the million banjo jokes. There's so many of them. And what would be a better place to host them but here on the Hangout? Maybe you could make a Banjo Joke page where members could submit their jokes.

I think it would be so fun!

Do you mean like:

What's the difference between a banjo and an onion?
No one cries when you chop up a banjo.

What's the range of a banjo?
It all depends on how strong of an arm you have.

Almost every imaginable banjo joke is already canonized at http://bluegrassbanjo.org/banjokes.html

Yes, but this would let members submit their own. And maybe the world would get some new jokes that way. We could also have a little "Recently Submitted Jokes" feed that we could always check on. A fun thing to look at while "hanging out."

Only problem is I haven't seen any banjo-only jokes. Substitute 'fiddle' or 'jaw harp' for banjo, or insert 'lawyer' or 'doctor' in place of banjo-player, and it's still the same 'joke.' (ha ha not funny).

I know of 3 music jokes that cannot be substituted very easily.

1. Why is the harmonica the best instrument in the world? Only half of its notes suck.
2. How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb? 1. 5. 1. 5. 1....
3. If you cannot play an instrument well in school band, they give you two sticks and tell you to stand in the back and bang on drums. And if you can't do that very well, then they take one stick away and tell you to go stand up front and don't touch anything with it at all.

Everything else is merely the same joke with different words. Trade banjo with accordian or banjo-player with Republican/Democrat and see if it's the same joke. If so, it ain't a banjo joke. It ain't even a music joke. (I don't even think it's a joke but that's personal opinion).

My freind always tells this one when we play together.

Q. What did the banjo player get on his SAT?


A. Drool.

(I guess that's my favorite one)

Why not just post them in the clawhammer section?

Because having a page not on the forum would allow more people to read them, easier.

This would go in the Food Forum, don't you think?
