Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Time to roll out the banjo jokes, folks.
Q) definition of a gentleman?
A) someone who CAN play banjo, but chooses not to.
Q) what's the difference between a trampoline and a banjo?
A) you've got to take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.
A guy's returning home from a country music festival, and his VERY expensive banjo is on the back seat of his car. He stops to fill up with gas and while he's inside paying for it, he hears the sound of breaking glass. He runs outside to find his car window smashed, races over to his car, expecting to see his VERY expensive banjo missing, but finds 3 more banjos in the car. |
