I include this trumpet gag because in a roundabout way, it actually happened to me. I'll explain afterwards.
How do trumpet players normally greet each other?
'Hi, I'm better than you'.
Now on my first day at the RCM (September 1982. I did actually only last a year....) a fellow first year student introduced himself to me and said, 'There's a bit of playing here other than the lessons, but you won't get any 'cos I'm better than you'. Still, he lasted the four years so he must have been right but what a way to introduce yourself!
He remains nameless (for now, save that his initials are DS). All I can say is that I hope the ravages of time have mellowed him from the class A1 p*at he was then!
p.s. Dyl, I had an asterisked word in my Limerick 'edited' and rightly so. That same word appears on this thread in exactly the same asterisked way yet it remains. Consistency, please.
Regards
Dave
