I feel like it would work better if it wasn't the first or last word. Just fiddle around with different words, and viola!

[–] GeorgimusPrime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Not to talk of when you replace first names with random aquatic creatures

[–] CCF_100@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

I noticed it immediately, but then I took it for an honest typo until I had read it all.

Gone was the fun.

I didnt notice the second one. I feel silly

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago

Fuck, I'm 9 out of 10 people.

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.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago

That’s a decent joke.

Can anyone trump it?

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Reading this on my shamisen from Tokyo to Kyoto

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 29 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

wow... i had to read that 3 times before i found the instrument....

english is my first language...

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

english is my first language...

that's likely the reason. the more you're used to a language the less you notice mistakes

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 22 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

This joke makes me want to commit violins

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like you got a trombone to pick

[–] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

Kick him in the pianist

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

I have autism and I didn't notice that

[–] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 minutes ago

Same, where are our powers

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I haven't noticed my own autism too.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

More or less my experience!

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Ever had sax on phone?

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Bruce Springsteen aka the bass would agree

[–] ech@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

Explicitly not "random", but admittedly funny.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

More like can't see without glasses and only look lemmy in my bed at night. I onlu see 30%

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago

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
