So Preston goes to his doctor, says, 'I've played classical violin for the LA symphony for 20 years now but I want to learn to play Irish music, got a slot in a touring band ready to go but I am having difficulty going from classical to Irish, can't seem to get it right."
The doc says, well it turns out we have found the musical nodule on the brain that controls musical ability. We worked out a system where we snip a small portion of that bud and you unlearn all that 20 years of classical training.

GREAT he says, lets do it.

So the doc and patient are on the operating table, patient sedated, the doc has his scalpel out to make that small cut when a big richter scale 7 earthquake hits and the doc slips and makes a much bigger cut than he wanted.

So two weeks later Preston comes out of the coma and the doc comes up and says, "Son, I don't think you are going to be able to play Irish music now, and explains what happens.

Preston says, SHEEIT doc, that's ok, I wanna play some BLUEGRASS!

At the risk of being accused that I don't get the joke, you do know that there is now the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale, which has superseded the Richter scale, right?

This link explains about the MMI scale.

Knowing you to be a man of science, I thought you might be interested.

Yeah, thanks for that. I used the richter scale because everyone knows it. The joke is a dig at the cultural level of bluegrass music, presumably Irish is higher on the musical scale than bluegrass. It works great at an Irish festival🙂

fire of competitive motivation: "Son, why can't you be more like your friend Jack? He's
always been a good student, right?", to which Jim quickly replied: "But that's not fair. Jack's
dad is smart."
There is an analogous one:

Dad: "In your age George Washington was first in his class!"
Son: "and in yours he was president of the USA!"

A chess player boards an international flight. After everyone is seated, he recognizes the passenger next to him. "Hey - aren't you - Gary Kasparov?", he asks. Gary smiles and basks in the recognition a bit. They get to talking about chess stuff. After the in-flight meal, Gary produces a little travel chess set and asks, "How about a game?"

The chess player replies, "Oh, no, you're far too good for me. You'll blow me off the board!" Kasparov contemplates this a bit, then says "How about if I play left-handed? Would that be fair?" "You're on!", the chess player replies.

Sure enough, Gary demolishes the chess player in 8 moves. CP is inconsolable. After he lands, he meets his friend in the airport. "How was your flight?" the friend asks. "Oh, it was horrible. I got destroyed in a game of chess by Gary Kasparov, even though he played the game with the left hand!"

The friend breaks out in laughter and exclaims, "Dude! You got swindled! Kasparov IS left-handed!"
