A
man is walking down the street and sees an
old friend of his.
Boris! How the hell are ya?
I am well, my friend. I am piccolo player with the INTERNATIONAL ORCHESTRA.
Spectacular!
Well, is not as good as it sounds.
Why not?
Well, we play for the king of England. He love the music; he say 'FILL THE INSTRUMENTS WITH GOLD!'. And they fill the tuba with gold; they fill the trombone with gold, and ME with the goddamn piccolo!
We play for the queen of France. She love the music; she say 'FILL THE INSTRUMENTS WITH SILVER!' And they fill the trombone with silver and the tuba with silver, and me with the goddamn piccolo!
Then we play for the czar of Russia. He hates the music; he say 'SHOVE THE INSTRUMENTS UP THEIR ASSES!' And they try the tuba, don't fit. The trombone don't fit. and ME WITH THE GODDAMN PICCOLO!
