For all you sopranos out there:<P>Conductor to orchestra at the start of the rehearsal:<P>"Please get out your pencils. We have some marking to do. The first two bars are in 3/4, not 4/4 as written. Next, in the 5th bar, change it to 7/8 and this remains to the end. In bar 7 we lower the pitch a half step. In bar 13 we lower the pitch one whole step and this will remain to the end. In bar 26 where it says strict tempo, cross that out and write in molto rubato. In bar 32 cross out the grand pause. And in bar 44, take out the legato and write in staccato. Thank you. Let's begin."<P>Soprano soloist: "Excuse me, Maestro. What would you like me to change?"<P>Conductor: "Nothing at all Madam. Sing it exactly as you did yesterday."<P>

[OperaTenor]

Touche', E. <P>I thought that was one of my wittier strokes. Of course that stuff always comes up late at night after rehearsal when I'm trying to decompress enough to go to sleep, so maybe it's just a bunch of cerebral spew!

[EJA]

Spew, yes. Cerebral? That's doubtful.

A guy goes to the barber for a shave. He says, "I can't seem to get a close enough shave on my cheeks." So the barber gives him a small wooden ball and says, "Here, put this in your mouth between your cheek and gum while I shave you." So the guy does, and the barber gives him the closest shave he's ever had! He then asks the barber, "So what happens if I accidentally swallow the ball?" The barber replies, "Just bring it back to me the next day like everyone else."<P><BR>Ba-da-ting!
