The train rattled towards a long tunnel and in one compartment sat a guitarist, a drummer, a pretty young woman and a little old lady.
The train entered the tunnel and all went dark, there was a loud kiss, followed by an even louder smack!
When the train emerged from the dark tunnel the four occupants were still sitting in their seats busy with their own thoughs on what had just happened.
The pretty young woman was thinking, "Why would that drummer want to kiss an old lady?"
The old lady was thinking " What a hussy sitting there as if nothing happened, i know that guitarist kissed her"
The guitarist was thinking "I didn't do a damn thing so why did i get my face slapped"
The drummer was thinking "How about that, i kiss my own hand and then smack the guitarist in the mouth, and get away with it:.

A bassist, a guitarist, and a drummer are sitting in a pub after playing a hard gig, drinking a few beers and chatting quietly.
The bassist says - "Last night I found some vodka in my daughter's room...I never knew she drunk..."
The guitarist says- "Oh, that's no good..I found some cigarettes in my son's room last night, I never knew he smoked..."
The drummer then replies, drunkedly- "Last night...I found a condom in my daughter's room...I never knew she had a penis!!"
A midget who was a drummer in a Country and Western band went to the doctor because his testicles ached almost all of the time. The doctor told him to stand on the examining table and drop his pants. The doc put one finger under the midget's left testicle and told him to turn his head and cough - the usual method to check for a hernia.
"Hmmm..." mumbled the doc as he put his finger under the right testicle, he asked th! e midget to cough again, "Hmmm, I see the problem," said the doctor and reached for his surgical scissors.
Snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip on the right side, then snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, on the left
side.
The midget was so scared he was afraid to look, but noted with amazement that the snipping did not hurt. The doctor then told the midget to hop down off the table and pull his pants up. Then to walk around and see if his testicles still ached. The midget was absolutely delighted as he walked around the doc's office and discovered his testicles were no longer aching.
The midget said, "That! 's perfect Doc, and I didn't even feel it! What did you do?"
The Doctor replied, "I cut two inches off the top of your cowboy boots."
Four guys are walking down the street and see a sign that says, "Old Timer's
Bar - ALL DRINKS 10 CENTS!" They all look at each other with a puzzled look
and decide to go inside to check it out. An old bartender says in a voice
that carries across the room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you!
What'll it be, Gentlemen?" There seems to be a fully-stocked bar, so the men
each ask for a martini. In short order, the bartender serves up 4 iced
martinis - shaken, not stirred - and says, "That'll be 10 cents each,
please." The four men look in shock at the bartender, not believing their luck in
finding this place, and pay him the 40 cents. They soon finish their
martinis and order another round. Again, they receive four excellent
martinis and the bartender says, "That's 40 more cents, please." They pay
the 40 cents, but now their curiosity is more than they can stand. They've
each had two martinis and so far they've spent less than a dollar.
Finally one of the men says, "How can you afford to serve martinis
as good as these for ten cents apiece?"
The bartender says, "I'm a retired miner from the coast and I always wanted
to own a bar. Last year I struck Lotto and with the $25 million decided to
open this place just for the fun of it. Every drink costs ten cents. Wine,
liquor, beer, it's all the same."
"Wow, that's quite a story," says one of the men.
The four of them continued to sip their martinis and couldn't help but
notice three other guys at the end of the bar who didn't have a drink in
front of them and hadn't ordered anything the whole time they were there.
One man gestures at the three at the end of the bar without drinks and asks
the bartender, "What's with them?"
The bartender replies, "Oh, they're all drummers. They're waiting for happy
hour."
Q: What do you call the guy who hangs around hassling the drummer at the end of a gig??

A new customer walks into the new store on the block that sells brains. There are three glass cases, each containing a nice wet quivering grey brain. The first one says "Astrophysicist", and it costs $10. The second says "Avon Salesman" and costs $1000. The third says "Drummer" and costs $10,000. The customer is confused, and questions the salesperson.
"I don't get it...why would I want a drummer's brain for $10,000 when I can get an astrophysicists' for $10?".
The salesman replies, "Because it's never been used."

After having their 11th child, a bass player and his wife decided that was enough as they could not afford a larger bed. So the bass player went to his doctor and told him that he and his wife didn't want to have any more children. The doctor told him there was a procedure called a vasectomy that would fix the problem but it was expensive.
A less costly alternative was to go home, get a firework, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his ear and count to 10.
The bass player said to the doctor, Geez, I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but I don't see how putting a firework in a beer can next to my ear is going to help me." "Trust me, it will do the job", said the doctor.
So the man went home, lit a banger and put it in a beer can. He held the can up to his ear and began to count: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5," at which point he paused, placed the beer can between his legs so he could
continue counting on his other hand.

Lastly ...
I haven't said anything to anyone about this until now because I wanted to wait until the deal had been finalised. We have just purchased a one-bedroom unit as an investment property I thought you might like to know, in case anyone is interested in reasonably priced accommodation for an upcoming getaway to the beach.
It's available for weekends or on a weekly basis.
For now, I will be handling bookings until I find an agent.
We would be prepared to rent it to any Drumsetconnect forum members for about $80 for 3-nights and $150 for the week (these prices are for friends and family and forum members only).
Prices will be a bit different for people I don't know but can be discussed on an individual basis.
In any case, it's a one-bedroom, high rise unit that overlooks the sea, nestled in wooded area and has a great sea view from every window!
I have included just the one photo for now, let me know if you might be interested
