About Ninth Symphony

Charge 7 · July 10th, 2005

One night, a well-known orchestra was playing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. One bass player said to the other, "We don't have much to do for a while, so let's go to the bar next door. To give us some extra time, I tied the last pages of the music together, so the conductor will have to untie them when he gets near the end." They sneaked out and had a few drinks together, becoming increasingly drunk. Then they staggered back into the auditorium just in time for the finish.

The next day, when asked how the concert went, the conductor replied, "Pretty boring, but it picked up at the end of the Ninth when the score was tied and the bassists were loaded."

Locke	LOL good one!!! it was a very clever play on words, which isn't everyones cup of tea. If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
