But I've got to fill time while I'm doing it, so I start telling banjo jokes. I run through a lot of the old standards:
What's the difference between a banjo and an onion? (You cry when you cut up an onion.)
...an accordion? (The banjo takes longer to burn.)
...a Harley? (You can tune a Harley.)
...a chainsaw? (The chainsaw has a wider dynamic range.)
...a banjo player and a large pizza? (The large pizza can feed a family of four.)
What do you say to a banjo player in a three-piece suit? ("Will the defendant please rise?")
How do you tell the stage is level? (The banjo player drools out of both sides of his mouth.)
...and a bunch more, including my all-time favorite:
Q: What's the first thing every banjo player knows?
A: That Jed's a millionaire.
Okay, so I'm about done with changing the string and I say "What's the difference between a banjo and an Uzi?" But before I can get out my answer of "The Uzi only repeats 40 times," some guy in the third row called out "The banjo clears the room faster!"
Aaaaargh! Upstaged! I mimed getting stabbed in the heart, tuned up the new string, and played the next song in the concert.
