  Un homme myope entre dans un magazin de musique et dit :
  -Je voudrais la trompette rouge, lá-haut, et l'accordéon blanc, qui est lá contre le mur.
  -Ecoutez, répond le vendeur, l'extincteur je veux bien vous le vendre, mais le radiateur, c'est impossible, il est fixé au mur !
  

  and:

  Dans la rue, un mendiant joue de l'accordéon. Arrive un agent de police :
  -Eh, l'ami ! Vous avez un permis pour jouer ici ?
  -Non, monsieur l'agent.
  -Alors accompagnez-moi !
  -Volontiers. Qu'est-ce que vous chantez ?
