JOKE 4: Why do violists panic when they see the Kama Sutra? Ooh! All those positions! The viola has many fans and some surprising players. I bet you didn't know that Jimmy Hendrix was a keen viola player? I do play the viola, but due to my small stature I find it a big strain on my back, so these days I concentrate on the violin.
