A morning/afternoon/evening smile for you

For Christmas, we gave our niece a coffee mug which had comical musical definitions on it. It went from A-Z but some were funnier than others. I thought I’d share the best of them with you all. Of course, these are only the funniest in my opinion but them’s the breaks, as they say. Agitato – common mental state of musicians before going on stage Bach’s organ works – the proof being his 20 children Double Flat – hopeless situation, unless you have two spare wheels Elevator music – music for bringing you down G-string – essential component in vaudeville shows Humdrum – mediocre drummer Interval – often the high spot of the evening Ornament – bust of Beethoven on the piano lid Perfect pitch – the ability to throw a banjo into a skip bin from 30 feet Relative minor – distant cousin Telemann – couch potato Whirligig – engagement lasting less than half an hour Xylophone – the dinosaur of the percussion family I hope you get a smile from these.

She plays a number of instruments so she'll appreciate the humour.

I didn't really understand all of them but the one about 20 kids was funny.

I believe it. In those days having lots of children was what couples wanted because often not all children survived.

There was an F ff which was 'go away' but I didn't put them one in.

I hadn't heard of 'seat singing' and didn't understand it. I guess it means farting. Is that right?

True. Most people don't carry two spare tyres with them.

On the whole, they're funny. I've seen tea-towels with something similar too.

I did know that one but was too polite to put it in and anyway, it wasn't on the coffee cup.

Those are really funny statements. I would have preserved the mug without using them.

Our niece does have a lot of other mugs so perhaps she will keep it.

I think I bought this mug in England and was going to give it to our son but it's now gone to an equally nice home.

These are fun, so is the entire mug. I often see cool musical quotes and definitions on Facebook.
