What’s the difference between a banjo and a trampoline?

You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.

I think that's oldgreensock's joke.

Anyway... I was drunkenly celebrating oldgreensock's birthday this past weekend when I met a grammy winning banjo player. In my drunken stupor, I told him that the banjo is a weak excuse for an instrument. It's a half-assed drum with strings that sounds like a cat in heat. He seemed to be taking it pretty well, when someone leaned over to me and was like "Dude, that guy plays banjo."

"Yes. I realize that. And that's why I think it's important for him to know that playing the banjo is silly."

There is nothing silly about dueling banjos, dude. Nothing.

also, it’s way more fun to have sex on a trampoline (the word “tramp” isn’t in that word by mistake)!

I love the banjo, but I also love banjo jokes so here’s another one:

-Why don’t you see any banjos on Star Trek?

-Because it’s in the future!

Oh god I love that one! I do love the bajo though, and I’m sure even JJ would miss it if were absent from some of his favorite tunes.

Your kids sound boring.
