Haha, half a measure! That's a good one.

How do you keep an oboe from being stolen?
Put it in a clarinet case.

How many clarinetists does it take to change the lightbulb?
Just one, but they'll go through 10 boxes of lightbulbs to find the right one.

What's the dynamic range of a trombone?
On, off

How do you get a violist to stop playing?
give them a solo.

edit:

What's the only downside of a car with 4 clarinetists going off a cliff?
You could fit one more.

There's a conductor and violist in the middle of the road. Which do you hit first?
Conductor: business before pleasure.

A tuba player, flutist, and trumpeter are crossing a lake in a boat when it starts to sink. Who lives/dies, and why?
Tuba player climbs into his tuba and paddles to safety.
The flutist floats away cause they're an airhead.
The trumpeter dies cause he thinks he can walk on water.

During a particularly important rehearsal, the conductor is getting increasingly aggravated by the percussion section. At one point his anger peaks and he yells "You know what they do with the idiots who can't play any instrument? They take away their instrument, give them a couple of sticks, put him in back, and make him a percussionist."

One of the percussionists mutters, "You know what they do with the idiots who can't play any percussion instrument? They take away one of the sticks, puts him in front, and make him the conductor."

Today in class we were talking about the velocity of free-falling objects, and our teacher was giving an example. They asked what weighs about 50 kg, and someone said a child.

Not terribly cheesy, but it seems to go with the theme that's developing:

A judge, a bishop, and a conductor were having a discussion. All three were rather vain men, and their talk soon turned to the question of which of them was the greatest.

"Well," said the judge, "my position is one of dignity and power. When I walk into the courtroom, the bailiff says 'All rise!' and all the people stand to pay me honor."

"That's very nice," said the bishop. "People stand in your honor; but when people have an audience with me they kneel, kiss my ring, and they address me as 'Your Holiness.'"

The conductor snorted and said, "I think I got you both beat; when I step onto the podium, as guest conductor, the people look down, put their hands over their eyes, and say 'Oh, my God!'"

-from http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/88q4/4989.20.html

EDIT: OK, here's a cheesy one:

Why is a violist like a terrorist?
They both mess up bowings.

A child says to his mother "Someday when I grow up, I want to be a trumpeter!"
His mother replies "You can't have both."

Three good friends die and go to heaven. As they're standing at the gate, Saint Peter asks the first "How much did you make while you were alive?"
He replies "$200,000 a year"
"What did you do for a living?"
"I was a banker"
Saint Peter then asks the second guy "How much did you make while you were alive?"
"$150,000 a year"
"What did you do for a living?"
"I was an accountant"
He asks the third guy "How much did you make while you were alive?"
"About $20,000 a year"
"What instrument did you play?"

How do you know you have a drummer at your door?
The knocking gets faster and they never know when to come in.

What do you call a guitarist who's girlfriend dumped them?
homeless.

There was a man that had to go to Florida for a business trip, and his wife was going to Florida the next day to visit family. So, the husband decides that he's going to email his wife, "See you tomorrow, and dress light. It's hot down here." However, he types the email address in wrong, and it gets sent to the widow of a preacher.

A business executive was on a business trip when his plane crashed into the amazon.
We wandered around for several weeks weeks when on the verge of exhaustion he stumbled across a massive tribe of natives.
They quickly surrounded him and fearing his doom looked up into the heavens and cryed out "God, I'm screwed".
Then A deep resounding voice split the heavens And God Answered, " You are not Screwed, Do you see the man in the bright feathered head dress walking up to you? Take the stone at your feet and bash in his head"

The man grabbed the stone and did just that.

as the tribe looked on with horror on there faces at there chieftain lying in a pool of blood at the strangers feet the Lord spoke again.
"Now Your Screwed".

"What's new?"
"C over lambda"

well isn't a calc basically just like a small computer? BTW here is an old one:

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are sleeping in an hotel. A fire breaks out and only the engineer wakes up. He sees a bucket, a sink, and a solution. He quickly fills the bucket with water and pours it on the fire. Then he pours another bucket of water on the ashes for extra pro-cation and goes back to sleep. When another fire breaks out this time only the physicist wakes up. The physicist sees the fire, the bucket, and the sink; he then calculates the precise amount of water to put the fire out which he does. The physicist goes back to sleep, but another fire breaks out. When only the mathematician wakes up he sees the fire, the bucket, and the sink and concludes there is a solution and goes back to sleep.

Little Johnny is always being teased by the other neighborhood boys for being stupid. Their favorite joke is to offer Johnny his choice between a nickel and a dime -- Little Johnny always takes the nickel.

One day, after Johnny takes the nickel, a neighbor man takes him aside and says, "Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. Don't you know that a dime is worth more than a nickel, even though the nickel's bigger?"

Johnny grins and says, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I've made $20!"

This is no joke but a call to *BAN* dihydrogen monoxide, otherwise know as the invisible, killer substance. Jupiter Scientific's science joke webpage is probably not the place to post this protest, but the JS staff feels very strongly about this issue. For your information, dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO in its liquid form, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes tissue damage and contact with its gaseous form causes burns. DHMO use is widespread. For those who have become dependent on it, DHMO withdrawal means death. DHMO can be an environmental hazard: it is a major component of acid rain, contributes to the "greenhouse effect", leads to the erosion of natural landscapes and hastens the corrosion of most metals. Being so prevalent (quantities are found in every stream, lake and reservoir), DHMO contamination is at epidemic proportions. Despite the dangers, DHMO is often used as an industrial solvent, as a fire retardant, in nuclear power plants and (can you believe this) in certain food products. Companies dump waste dihydrogen monoxide into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. STOP THE HORROR NOW! The American government and the United Nations have refused to ban the production, distribution or use of this chemical due to its "economic importance." The navy and certain other military organizations are highly dependent on DHMO for various purposes. Military facilities receive tons of it through a sophisticated underground distribution network. It is also stored in large quantities for military emergencies. BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE! You can help. Act *NOW* to prevent further contamination. Write your representatives. Start and sign petitions. Send e-mails. Inform your friends about the dangers. What you don't know *CAN* hurt you and every individual throughout the world.
