Reminds me of the story my father related re atonal music. He did tell me who originally did this little sketch thingie, but I forgets.
Conductor and Leader of the Orchestra discussing atonal music
Conductor: first you must get the forking tune
Leader: don't you mean the tuning fork
Conductor: no, I mean the forking tune
Leader: and why do we need that?
Conductor: because in atonal music there is no forking tune
