At a jam session, I was taking a lot of ribing with banjo jokes. One of the other members said....pay them no mind. I love the banjo, he said. If fact I would love to learn to play one. So I asked why he didn't, he replied, well I play the accordian, and the viola,....and I am a lawyer, I just couldn't take anymore jokes.

In most of the south and west of Ireland, it's pronounced bough-rawn, to rhyme with cow-brawn. In the North, they pronounce it bo-rawn, as in "the moron with the Bodhrán." Americans regularly slaughter it in a variety of ways. (The word, not the goat.)
