OK, I'll bite. I'm waiting for the punch line. I haven't heard this

Speaking of viola, just to stir up an old joke. The local music

fire, every thing has been pulled to safety except a saxophone, a
viola and
an electric guitar. You only have time to save two, what do you do?

Drew McManus rightly highlights a recent Saturday Night Live joke:
"During a
concert of the Virginia Symphony at the 400th anniversary
celebration of the
founding of Jamestown, President Bush briefly took over conducting
the
orchestra, which explains why the orchestra is now $4 trillion in
debt."
Tom Hartley adds: "Responding to the faint applause at the end of the
performance, Maestro Bush told the audience, 'It's because of
people like
you
that classical music is dying!'"
Comments to blog:
Apparently his advisors had told him that the Viola section would
welcome
him as a liberator.
But don't worry, his plan for solving the orchestra's deficit is
to cut
fundraising.
