There was this big performance of Beethoven's 9th
Symphony. At one point in this piece the basses have
absolutely nothing to do for pages and pages, and it so
happened there was a little tavern across the street
from the concert hall. So, when they began their
endless rests they quietly put down their instruments,
and discreetly slipped out to get some drinks.
After a couple rounds one of the basses pointed out
that perhaps they should go back so they wouldn't be
late.
Another bass said, "No, don't worry. I took care of it!
You see, I tied the end of the conductors music
together, so when he gets close to the end he'll have
to slow the tempo way down while he tries to untie it!"
The others agree this is a good idea and order another
round.
After the next round they head back to the concert hall
and the conductor looks really angry! After all, it was
the bottom of the 9th, the score was tied, and the
bases were loaded!
