the pianist
PIANIST
A man walks into a bar with a paper bag. He sits down and places the bag on the counter.
The bartender walks up and asks what's in the bag. The man
reaches into the bag and pulls out a little man,about one foot high and
sets him on the counter. He reaches back into the bag and pulls out a
small piano, setting it on the counter as well. He reaches into the bag
once again and pulls out a tiny piano bench, which he places in front of
the piano.
The little man sits down at the piano and starts playing a
beautiful piece by Mozart.
"Where on earth did you get that?" says the bartender.
The man responds by reaching into the paper bag. This time he
pulls out a magic lamp. He hands it to the bartender and says: "Here. Rub
it."
So the bartender rubs the lamp, and suddenly there's a gust of
smoke and a beautiful genie is standing before him. "I will grant you one
wish. Just one wish each person is only allowed one!"
The bartender gets real excited. Without hesitating he says, "I
want a million bucks!"
A few moments later, a duck walks into the bar. It is soon
followed by another duck, then another. Pretty soon, the entire bar is
filled with ducks and they keep coming!
The bartender turns to the man and says, "Y'know, I think your
genie's a little deaf.
I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks."
"Tell me about it!!" says the man, "do you really think I asked
for a 12 inch pianist?"
