My interest was renewed recently by the highly amusing two drummers word podcast .
an example - what do you do when you hear a bass solo-
answer run coz the drum solo is next

This pops up at the top of a Google for the words 'musician'and 'jokes'. I read a couple and didn't find them funny, but lokoing at your examples that may not be one of your criteria.
funnily enough
i also googled using the same keywords and came up with the same conclusion -not very funny
most of these word contributions are funnier though given your obnservations re my examples - you may not agree
