A bodhran player was getting sick of the band abusing him, so he decided he would start his own band. He walked into a music shop with the intention of buying the first instruments he saw.
He went up to the counter and said "I'll take that red saxophone over there and that accordian."
The fella behind the counter asked him if he was a bodhran player.
"I am", says he, "but how did you know?"
The shopkeeper looked him up and down and said:
"Well, I can sell you the fire extinguisher if you want, but the radiator stays."
What's the difference between a bodhran and a trampoline?
You take your shoes off when you jump on a trampoline.
There was a big session on one night in the local bar. The musicians were playing for hours, having great craic and knocking back pints. One man stood outside the window with a bodhran in his hand looking in at everyone playing. Every now and then he came to the door, walked a few steps in, turned around, and went back to the window. He had done it about ten times when the guitar player turned to the concertina player and asked him what the story was with this fella. "Oh, he's just a typical bodhran player. He never knows when to feckin' come in!"
Bodhran care is easy: Just rub gently with lighter fluid and ignite.
*I have nothing against a good bodhran player, as long as they play properly, but these jokes were fair funny so I said I'd stick em up. Anyone have any more. It's your chance to have a go at the bodhran YET AGAIN!!!
I was out at the landfill the other day and this bloke drives up in a truck full of bodhrans. He gets up on the back of the truck and starts flingin' 'em on by one, like frisbees, onto the tip.
"Hey mate!" shouts I, "That looks fun."
"Come up and giz a hand then. It is brilliant fun" says he.
So up I get and sure enough, the best fun I've had in yonks. "So what's all this in aid of?" asks I as he lobs one high and I try to hit it with another as it comes back down.
"We've just gotta get rid of 'em before they hatch into banjos."
There was this bodhran player, see, and he was, like, soooo dumb and, like, people insulted him and laughed at him and stuff. Ha ha ha ha ha! Bodhran players are so dumb, they probly don’t know anything. Ha ha ha ha ha!
I was sitting next to a tin whistle player one night and she played the most beautiful reel I've ever heard. When she finished I asked her what key it was in, and she looked at the mouthpiece and said "Red".

How do you make a bodhran player dizzy?
Put him in a circus ring and tell him there's a stick in the corner.

Other than in all probability, probably knowing how to spell probably properly, as opposed to the Dublinese you are using!

Re: The yoke we love to hate:
A bodhran, fiddle, bouzouki, set of pipes and guitar were all coming along a country lane.
Seconds later, all but one of these were matchwood under the wheels of a speeding car.
Which one survived?
You've guessed it, the bodhran. It was driving.
