HORN HUMOR
Arriving at the gates of heaven are Herbert von Karajan, Jascha Heifetz, and a local horn player; not very prominent at all. Von Karajan addresses Saint Peter and says, “I’m the greatest conductor in history; I’ve conducted the Vienna Philharmonic, the Philharmonic, and the Berlin Philharmonic. I am here to enter into heaven.” Saint Peter wouldn’t let him in. He said, “Ya know, you traumatized a lot of those musicians, you were not very kind, and because of that we cannot let you in.” Jascha Heifetz then says, “Well, I’m the great Jascha Heifetz; I’m no conductor, but I do play a lot of fiddle. I’ve played all of the concertos and I’ve played all over the world: Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, and Brahms. The crowds all loved me. All my concerts were just fantastic. The famous genius Albert Einstein heard me and declared that my talent was proof positive of the existence of God.” And Saint Peter said, “Well, that’s all true and God loved the fiddling, but you will have to spend some time in Purgatory before we can let you in.” Next the horn player came up and said, “I did the best I could.” Saint Peter nods and replies “Yes you did; come on in.” Herbert von Karajan and Jascha Heifetz looked at one another and began to protest. Herbert von Karajan said, “Look, I’m the greatest conductor of all time, and Heifetz here is the greatest concert violinist, and you’ll let a third-rate horn player enter into heaven? Something is very wrong here!” Saint Peter replied, “Well, look at it this way, Maestro. Your tempi could sometimes get pretty slow and would cause people to fall asleep.” “Heifetz, when you played, it was always exhilarating, but it was still just great violin playing. Neither one of you caused anyone to call out to God. No one improved their spiritual standing when you performed. This horn player, every time he picked up his instrument and put it to his lips the entire public would pray to God, “Please Lord, let the horn player get it right this time.”
