This is another favorite of mine. Better than the Which Tyler joke, I'm sure. ;)
Stop me if you've heard this one...
So this choir is going to perform Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and some members of the bass section decide that since there's a lot of symphony to get through before the choral bit at the end, they might as well nip off to the pub before doing their part. To make sure the symphony can't go on without them if they get delayed, they get hold of the conductor's score and tie the last pages together.
So the concert starts, and as they reach the final movement of the symphony and the orchestra is getting to the great "Ode to Joy" theme, the conductor tries to turn the page and finds that it's stuck. He looks around and notices the bass section staggering onto the stage, and the horrible truth dawns on him:
It's the bottom of the ninth, the score is tied, and the basses are loaded!
