That’s a decent joke.

Can anyone trump it?

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 1 points 24 minutes ago

Bruce Springsteen aka the bass would agree

This only works because accordion is close according, not because they sound alike which is what everyone is attempting in these comments.

This is similar to the phenomena that allows jumbled words to be read, it's about context clues not puns.

Explicitly not "random", but admittedly funny.

Ditto

First read was a normal read. Second read, I thought the joke was that there wasn't an instrument. I had to come to the comments before I saw it lmao

I noticed right away, thanks to my ASD super power I guess

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I have autism and I didn't notice that

That's why its a spectrum, we are not all the same

AuADHD reporting in. I got caught re-reading the first part but for a while trying to figure out what neat thing about free-reed instruments was going on, before eventually reading to the end and realizing that its presence was the joke.

More or less my experience!

Ever had sax on phone?

As one cursed with an illiterate fuckwit for a brain-hole, any word can be either a random musical instrument or summon a demon, like fun little Schrodinger surprises. Just kinda gotta roll with it after a while
