What's the diff between a viola and a coffin?

The coffin has the dead person on the inside! That's just one of the dozens and dozens of instrument zingers you'll find by clicking on the link above. Carefully compiled by somone at MIT (of course), this exhaustive list is a great place to turn when you want to make fun of the harp soloist, or the daft clarinetists, or the overzealous trombone player. Unless you already know three answers to "How many sopranos does it take to change a lightbulb?" you owe it to yourself to make a stop here.
