Inspired simultaneously and erratically by the blog thoughts of both Stanley Lee and Ned Rorem.

For all you nerdy pianists out there. If you find this funny, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

A broke and failed pianist who had just recently hit rock bottom, in his ultimate desperation, decided to try out for a position at the circus. The circus manager told him that, unfortunately, there was no need for a pianist but that if he put on a bear costume and walked the tight-rope - he would have a job. In his pathetic desperation, he accepted.
On his first day of the job, the circus manager told him not to be nervous, and above all - don't look down. Alas, he could not help it, and in looking down, he fell four stories down, directly into a den of lions. Unhurt yet scared out of his mind, he cowered into a corner as the lions approached him hungrily. At the last moment, suddenly all the lions took off their masks and the men underneath the masks replied, "oh don't worry. We're all pianists too."
