If a banjo player and his wife divorce, would they still be cousins?

Chris- Being hard on Banjos is a deep tradition within the bluegrass community and specially among musicians. See for example the website Steve Kaufman set up for all things "Flatpickin on Guitar". (http://www.firebottle.com/flatpik/) On the left side is a set of links. I think it is the one next to the bottom. Yep. Banjo jokes.
"What is the difference between a lawn mower and a banjo? You CAN tune a lawn mower!"
"Why do some people hate banjo players right away.
Saves time."
"What do you say to a banjo player whose wearing a suit and tie?
Will the defendant please rise."
Also note they are not PC (I know, the average banjo player is a male, tee,
hee!). There are about 1000 of them, many attributed to professional bluegrass
and country musicians. Of course, you are also correct that many of these are
also used for bag-pipes, guitar, etc. :) All in good fun. Now - Back to the
Beer lesson. Oh, yeah. This relates to psychology how? Maybe gentle forms of
aggression through humour?

included the quip that "there MUST be a banjo joke in there
somewhere!" There followed a reasonably long thread of alternately
amusing & edifying comments.
You shouldn't be so hard on banjos Ed. Consider acordians and bagpipes! :-)
