Ha!

An oldie but a goody and a fave of mine:

What's the difference between a rock and a jazz guitarist?
The rock guitarist plays 3 chords to 20 000 people and the jazz guy plays 20 000 chords to 3 people.

Difference between a banjo and a trampoline?

-- you take off your shoes to jump on a trampoline.

My buddy left his accordion in the back seat of his car overnight. In the morning, his car window was smashed and he was shocked to discover a second accordion in his back seat.
