A very ambitious cornetist who has always wanted to be principal cornet in a great band, without success, becomes increasingly frustrated and eventually decides to go and have his fortune told and his palm read.
The palmist looks at his hand and tells him that there is some good news and some bad.
"What is the good news" enquires our cornetist.
"Well" said the palmist, "when you die, you will go to heaven and you will be the leader of the Holy Brass Band. The band has people like the Mortimer family, William Halliwell, Bert Sullivan, Don Lusher, all the great players of the last century playing in all the positions, but you are their principal cornet. There will also be the Holy Chorus made up of angels and God is the conductor".
"Wonderful, wonderful, just what I have always dreamed of" says our cornetist. "But, what is the bad news".
"Well" says the palmist. "the bad news is that the first rehearsal is tomorrow at 2.30."!!!!!!!
