So, I tell my friend a pun about Bach. She freaks out. Then I say, "I hope that wasn't too much to Handel. Don't let it Strauss you out."
For all of my musicians out there!
Musical Pun

Explanation
Experiment
The joke uses the names of famous composers, Bach, Handel, and Strauss, as puns. The pun with "Handel" plays on the word 'handle' which means to deal with something, and 'Strauss' puns on the word 'stress' which describes the feeling of being overwhelmed. The poster ends with "For all of my musicians out there!" implying that only people with a background in music would understand the reference.
