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)[reply]

A triangle is a percussion instrustment, whom got it's name from it's shape. It's the shape of a triangle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.89.174.148 (talk) 22:50, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dinner bell

I think it would be prudent to add a section to this article discussing the use of a triangle (iron or otherwise) as a Dinner Bell and have "Dinner Bell" redirect to this page. Any thoughts? - Team4Technologies (talk) 18:06, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I also believe the Dinner Bell is a very important part of the history of this instrument, as well as, being significant to US history. It may even merit its own article.Dirt290 (talk) 05:24, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
