Joke to start the long weekend off (harmonica content)

Bob-Dubery

Van's son comes home one day and says "Dad! I want to learn to play harmonica."

So Van buys him a harp and finds a local teacher. Saturday the kid goes off for his first lesson. He comes back a couple of hours later.

Van:"So how did it go, Son?"
Son:"Well.... we just did two notes. You see this hole here? You blow and you get one note, you suck and you get another."
Van:"Well be encouraged. This is a good start. One lesson, TWO notes."

The next Saturday the kid is off for a lesson again. He comes back a couple of hours later.
Van:"So how did it go, Son?"
Son:"We did another two notes - different hole."
Van:"Excellent! Two lessons, FOUR notes. Keep it up!"

The next Saturday the kid departs at the usual time. 12 hours later he is not back. Van is going out of his mind with worry and desperation. Eventually the kid stumbles in about breakfast time. His hair is a mess. His clothes are filthy. There is lipstick on his collar. He stinks of booze and cigarettes. His eyes look like the old SABC TV test pattern.

Van:"What the.... you little.... where have you been?"
Son:"It was my first gig."

"harp", "harpoon","mouth harp" all slang alternatives to "Mouth organ" or "Harmonica". One could also use "gob iron" or (if from Scotland) "moothie". There are probably other synonyms.

I'm confused. I didn't know you could blow AND suck on the bass guitar.

I know many bassists for whom both descriptions fit. ?
