Visual Puns

To someone who does not read music, these funnies might not be funny.
But if you know the names of the symbols, you might enjoy these visual puns.

For those who don't speak the language, the translation is given under the image.

Help!
I'm in treble! I ran over
something sharp and now my
tire is flat. I need a quarter for
the phone. Do I need
to repeat any of that?

It's natural for me to thank you for sending me that.
I saw it on my phone while at the stop sign on 32nd Street.
I read half of it while stopped at the railroad tracks
(with my foot OFF the gas pedal), and the whole thing
after taking a shortcut (with fewer turns)
to my home bass. It gave me a trill.
I think I'll hold on to that one.

Speaking of jokes in a foreign language . . .

One day in my high school French class, the teacher read several jokes to us . . . in French, bien sur. I do not remember any of the jokes, only that the first one was about a dog. Steve, sitting next to me, did not laugh. Nor did he laugh at the second, third, or fourth joke. Finally, after the teacher delivered the punchline of the fifth joke, Steve burst out laughing. Then, once he was able to settle down, I heard him say softly, "Now I get the one about the dog!"
