Since I was the president of the band, I was involved in the end of the year banquet presentations but I forgot to use the band jokes I had painstakingly found using Google. Therefore, I decided to list them so here goes nothing…
1. How many clarinetists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Only one, but he'll go through a whole box of bulbs before he finds just the right one
2. A sixteenth note walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a beer. “Sorry I can’t serve you,” says the barman. “Why not?!” asks the sixteenth note angrily. “You’re under 18,”.
3. What's the difference between a saxophone and a lawn mower?
♪Lawn mowers sound better in small ensembles.
♪The neighbors are upset if you borrow a lawnmower and don't return it.
♪The grip
4. How many trumpet players does it take to change a light bulb? Five. One to handle the bulb and four to tell him how much better they could have done it.
Due to me having to study on my true birthday, this Saturday I had a belated birthday with my family. My aunt, uncle and cousin were able to attend which was pretty cool considering that they were usually in Africa when my birthday parties has occurred in the past. On Sunday, I slept in and awoke to hang out with Arianna who was supposedly dropping by before work. When I went to answer the door and let Arianna in, I found Kelly, Allyson, Arianna and a cooler on my porch. Already slightly stunned I pulled a 'deer in alternate reality headlights' moment and almost had a heart attack as, Lyndsey, who had tricked me into believing she was gone to PEI to work, suddenly popped her head around the doorframe. I was speechless and spent the afternoon, trying to get my brain used to her presence as it repetitively wondered ‘isn’t she supposed to be in another province shredding paper right now?!’ The cooler was explained as they presented me with a ‘thanks to the cooler not melted’ chocolate cake with the words ‘Happy Birthday Katy’ written on it in green icing (the misspelling was on purpose and a joke based on the mispronunciation of my name by the French gentleman who presented me with an award at our band festival). Along with pizza and movies, the afternoon was also pirate themed with pirate balloons, a sword, an eye patch and coinage (chocolate and plastic). I received some amazingly inventive and awesome gifts including pirate souvenirs, candy, a gift certificate, a ‘personalized on the spot’ t-shirt and even some framed sheet music! A huge thanks to all four of my biggest heroes for an unforgettable afternoon!
Alrighty, on to Monday which saw me watching Superman Returns for the second time. But it is seriously that good! I mean who won't like a film involving cannibalistic dogs, a bald Kevin Spacey and a superhero with parenting potential! Just joking but seriously the movie's action-packed and realistic, the plot quite detailed, and there is lots of humor thrown in. Actually when I went the first time, I found one scene in particular very humorous. The scene involves one of Lex Luther’s cronies using a machine gun to shoot at police from a roof. Two security guards gain access to the roof top and begin to shoot at the man’s back and he turns the machine gun on them. As the bullets fly in slow motion towards the two guards, Superman flies between them and is able to walk calmly towards the machine gun while rebounding machine gun bullets off his chest.
Cool! Ohh but wait…the crony, having used up all his machine gun bullets, pulls out a hand gun and shoots right at Superman’s face which is about a meter away. In slow motion, we watch as the bullet flies towards his eye, impacts directly with his eye, crumples and falls to the ground. Leaning over to my friend Lyndsey to discuss what had just happened, I said the first thing that came to my mind “I bet he’s wondering if there’s a Visine for that!”
