A whistle player locked his keys in the car. He had to use his low D whistle to break the glass, to get the bodhran player out.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q: Why did the whistle player leave a Bodhran on his dash board?
A: He wanted to park in the handicapped spot.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q: Why did the people of Hamlen not grab their children and stop them from following the Pied Piper out of town, when he played his whistle?
A: It was worth it to get some peace and quiet.

That alludes to a quote from Seamus Ennis, the great Uillean piper, who said that the best way to play a bodhran was with a pen knife.On 2002-06-10 00:13, TnWhistler wrote:

Here's a variation on the Saxaphone joke:
What's the difference between a Low Whistle/Tinwhistle and a Lawn Mower??
1. Lawn mowers sound better in small ensembles.
2. The neighbors are upset if you borrow a Lawn mower and don't return it.
3. The grip.
And:
What's the difference between a Low Whistle and a chain saw??
The exhaust.

Illuminating the falls, paths, and
The breathtaking Elvish dwelling
Set back among great trees.
Lilting strains of Elven songs fill my heart;
I am finally home. ~Isilwen Elanessë

After years of no gigs, a whistle player gets himself invited to play a New Year's eve gig with some mates. He is so excited he leaves County Down early in the day and arrives in County Cavan at the bar before it opens. He figures: No harm done, I now know the location of the pub so I'll grab a nice meal. While he's eating at a hotel he suddenly realises he's left his prized, imported American, hand-made whistle sitting on the front seat so he jumps from the table and runs to the car, but too late. The passenger window is smashed and as he looks in he sees eight more whistles have been thrown on the seat.

And the whistle player would play Carolan's Farewell to Music on a High D and then a Low D.If I was thrown from a tall building, I would play Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar.

Actually, I've heard that said of the accordion---which is true, because of the way the bass buttons stick.That alludes to a quote from Seamus Ennis, the great Uillean piper, who said that the best way to play a bodhran was with a pen knife.
My ma once found a piano accordion at a garage sale for $30, and it looked like the previous owner took an icepick to the left side. I could tell what keys he played in by what buttons were scarred the most.

A man walks into a music shoppe in Dublin and inquires about purchasing the red low whistle and the white accordian.
The fella behind the counter says, "you must be a bohdran player" to which the customer responds, "I yam, how'd ya know?" The fella behind the counter says, "Well I might be convinced to sell the fire extinguisher, but the radiator stays."

Three Irish Musicians on their way to a session, decide to take a short cut through the local cemetery. As they walk they begin to take note of some of the grave stones. the fiddle player calls over to his mates and remarks "look at this one here, says this lad Sean lived to be 72, a respectable age for a man wouldn't you say". The box player then replies "tis a good number, this old man though, name of Patrick, he lived to be 84. Now that is truly an impressive life span, may God grant me the same". The Whistle player stands in front of a stone, scratching his head when he called out with awe "Jaysus, this man beats both men combined. If I did not see it with my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it, but it says right here Miles from Dublin...152"!

I purchased a C Clarke in 2001, so I did the logical thing and named it Arthur.
I've noticed that bohdran players get the same sort of jokes that rock drummers get directed at them.
How do you tell if the percussionist's platform is level?
They drool equally from both sides of their mouth.
What do you do with a percussionist that practices the subtleties of dynamics and blending into an ensemble?
For God sakes, keep them by whatever reasonable means you can!
Quoting U2 . . ."The passenger window is smashed and as he looks in he sees eight more whistles have been thrown on the seat." And quoting Walden, "A whistle player locked his keys in the car. He had to use his low D whistle to break the glass, to get the bodhran player out." So whistle players should simply not lock their cars, especially if they have WhOA or take bohdran players with them or simply don't want to keep replacing windows!
