As long as we are on musical nerd type stuff, another horn playing friend and I have this little ritual everytime we have a tacet:
Him: What measure are we on?
Me: Three before the 7/8 bar.
It's only funny if you know what a tacet is.
As a jazz musician, I always have to run with the gag of improv'ving a solo through the movement, and when everyone looks at you funny, you point at the music, then say with a Southern drawl, "Well mine don't have no notes, but it says on 'ner: take it!"
(Tacet...take it.)
