The joke I know about the triangle isn't so much about its simplicity...

A man got a job working behind the bar at a large concert hall. During a performance, the place was empty but for one man who was sat on a barstool drinking a pint. As he approached to offer him a refill, he noticed this man was tapping his finger on the edge of the bar, and counting under his breath. Later, he asks the senior barman about it, who says: "him? oh, he's the triangle player. he's counting the bars.

Should mention be made of the triangle at the beginning of the John Lennon song "Just Like Starting Over"? It is one of the more easily-recognizable uses of it, that I can think of. Mruss 21:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
