A Stevie Wonder Joke...
Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place isabsolutely packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice with hisnew audience he asks if anyone would like him to play a request.
A little old Japanese man jumps out of his seat in the first row andshouts at the top of his voice
"Play a Jazz chord! Play a jazz chord!"
Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in Stevie'sVaried career, the blind impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes.
When he finishes the whole place goes wild. The little old man jumpsUp again and shouts "No, no, play a Jazz chord, play a Jazz chord". A bit pissed off by this, Stevie, being the professional that he is,Dives straight into a jazz improvisation with his band around the B flatMinor chord and really tears the place apart.
The crowd goes wild with this impromptu show of his technical expertise.
The little old man jumps up again. "No, no. Play a Jazz chord, play ajazz chord".
Well and truly pissed off that this little guy doesn't seem toappreciate his playing ability,
Stevie says to him from the stage "OK smart ass. You get up here and do it!"
The little old man climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of the mikeand starts to sing ..... " A jazz chord to say I ruv you..."

11.54 am ... Shouldn't you be working?
Errrrrrrrrr... yes.
Although in all true fairness, this was a copy an paste job from an email. It made me chuckle so much I felt I had to deliver it to you lot!
It took me all of 2 minutes, and I started lunch early. Yes.
Although sometimes I write posts in blocks of about 2 or three at a time, and then save them as a draft. Then if I want to publish it, it only takes 30 seconds to click the publish post button!
Cunning huh?
Heh. Ryan, looks like you've been busted! :p
You're entitled to your 5 minute break every hour or whatever it is. And knowing you, this'll be the first time in about a week that you've actually used those 5 minutes to do something other than work!
what about his frequent trips to the last, secluded stall in the men's restroom? Do they not count? Oh wait, I am thinking about myself, sorry.
Jeff, how did you know about my trips to the toilets?
Oh wait, you were talking about yourself. Dammit, I take all previous statements back!
