Q: Why did the music teacher need a ladder? A: To reach the high notes.\nWhat do you think is the punchline of the above joke?
Explanation: Ahh, yes! The high notes! When one goes up, like in an airplane or up a ladder, one is going up higher. The child cannot reach the cookies because they are up high. High notes are the ones more to the right on a piano; in science the larger the Hz the higher the note. But high notes are not up high; that’s why this joke is funny!
