Ask someone: "What's perfect pitch?"
If they reply with "I don't know" then they probably won't get it. If they reply with something like "It's when you can hear a note and know exactly what it is," then continue with the punchline; "Oh, right, because I always thought it was the ability to throw a viola dead centre into a toilet bowl."
What do you do with someone who can't play an instrument? Give them two sticks and call them a drummer. What do you do with someone who can't drum? Take away one stick and call them a conductor.
