JEST FOR FUN

The orchestra was preparing to perform their annual benefit but the orchestra leader was nowhere to be found. They delayed as long as possible and finally decided to ask for a volunteer from the audience. First they gave the baton to a fireman. Alas, he had no rhythm and the orchestra fell into disarray. Then a doctor offered to give it a try, but he didn't have a feel for the dynamics and the music sounded too mechanical. Finally, a police officer saved the day. He took the baton and led the orchestra in, according to many in attendance, the best performance they could remember for years back. Of course, it should have been obvious: Copper is the best conductor.
