Two violists were snail hunting in France. They returned empty-handed hours later. 'What happened?' 'Every time we tried to grab one, it rushed away!'
A percussionist saw a dead crow and said 'Look, a dead crow.' The violist looked up and asked 'Where?'
Timmy's mom said he could count to 10 because he was a violist. The next day he was the tallest in class. 'Is that because I'm a violist?' 'No dear, that's because you're 26 years old.'
Workers were building a union hall. The violists asked why they were digging while the trumpeter supervised. 'Because I'm smarter.' The violist didn't understand. The trumpeter put his hand in front of a tree. 'Hit my hand!' At the last instant he moved it. The violist went back to the ditch. 'Let me explain,' he said to his friend, putting his hand in front of his own face. 'Hit my hand with your shovel!'
Why do violists smile when they play? Because ignorance is bliss.
