Yes - I openly & honestly admit that I am not the original one who made up this joke.
[Kind of why I said that these 2 jokes came to mind.]
The first time I heard it was on the TV show M.A.S.H 4077th by Hawkeye.
And the other one I believe was by Henny Young [or Youngman].
An older man known for lot’s of one-liners who held a violin, although I’m not sure he ever played it at all - at least not that I ever heard or saw.
I’m willing to bet that most jokes are recycled over & over again.
Most common example I can think of is Jay Leno using the ‘not being able to find 3 wise men & a virgin’ in L. A.’ every single year at Christmas time.
