Used to have that on my wall lo these many, many years ago. Had a cork board of items I constantly changed, all of a same level. This served several purposes, from amusing my co-workers to getting them to come in and say hello on a regular basis to bringing them within reach so I could manage them without 'managing' them, so to speak.

For some reason, nobody's shocked when a defibrillator fails. You'd think that would be rather concerning.

Pun jar. NOW.

You do realize this thread is FOR jokes like that, right?

Sure... but even here, we gotta pay to play!

If not disheartening.

It's simply a lack of good vibrations.

If it was a musician who had suffered a heart attack, it would definitely be disconcerting.

Yeah, how else does one kick start a heart?

*Drops a copy of the Motley Crue single "Kickstart my Heart" into the pun jar... And leaves the jar standing open.*

Call the Dropkick Murphys?

So... Did anyone notice that the pun jar is standing ajar?

Yeah, I just didn’t do anything about it because I like the music you chose.

That's supposed to be music?

Must be jazz, which is the musical equivalent of letting preschoolers break into the band room and abuse the instruments.

Hmmm...

I once heard New Orleans Jazz described as a bucket of music tumbling down the stairs.

Well, yes!

Hmm. Good blues, but why is the woman wearing two canoes from her ears?

Oh, if you want to talk about musical abuse of perfectly good instruments, there is much, much worse out there.

Here the most serious example of that I've ever heard of.

Yep, that group definitely provides that first syllable...

Well, one roommate in college was from Flint, Michigan, and he played 'Industrial Music'. It sounded, roughly, like someone beating steel trash cans to death with a chainsaw. Somewhat rhythmically.

Hey - know what the difference is between a trombone and a chainsaw?

Sometimes you can get a chainsaw in tune.

There's another difference.

You've never seen a horror/slasher movie in which innocent victims are messily slaughtered by a trombone-wielding maniac.

You never will. There are some depths to which even the makers of the shoddiest murder-porn films will not sink.

Not only that, but they're also trying to avoid all the bad jokes that will inevitably come with it.
