The Continuing Saga of the "Minor Joke"

C, E-flat and G go into a bar.  The bartender says, "Sorry, but we don't serve minors."  So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them.  After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat.  F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

D comes in and heads for the bathroom, saying, "Excuse me.  I'll just be a second."  Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.  Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, "Get out!  You're a minor and the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."

E-flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes.  The bartender says, "You're looking sharp tonight.  Come on in, this could be a major development."  Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural.

Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest.  C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminuation of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.  On appeal, however, C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental.  The judge rules that all contrary motions are bassless.
