I got these jokes when I used to play in a band.

How many guitar players does it take to change a light-bulb?
two. One to change the bulb and the other to show the other guy up and do it again faster/better.

What does a drummer say just before he's fired from a band?
"Hey guys, I wrote a song."

Worst part is that basically describes this forum, just replace the light bulb part with anything to do with the mx-3. :shrug:
