quote of the day

So we have an extremely small number of male singers in our choir. No shortage of sopranos and altos exists, so the two tenors, two baritones, and two basses must attempt to hold their own in this sea of women. Which (admirably) they do, most of the time. But sometimes, they get a little exuberant. Like yesterday. Mr. Murray stopped the choir in the middle of a piece, and looked right at the guys. "Now, this is an interesting problem here," he remarked. "The tenors are drowning out the men."

There was the briefest of awkward pauses, then slowly a ripple of laughter washed over the choir members as the tenors looked around nervously. One of the "men" piped up, "Why, didn't you know there are three sexes? Men, women, and tenors?"

Dang, the stuff you learn in choir...
