An unkempt looking chap goes into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender says, "No way, pal. I don't think you can pay for it." "You're right, " the chap says, "I don't have any money, but if I show you something you haven't seen before will you give me a drink?" "You have a deal my friend," says the bartender. The guy reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a hamster. He puts the hamster on the bar, it runs to the end of the bar, down the side of the bar, across the room, up the piano, onto the keyboard and starts playing Gerswhin. "You're right! I haven't heard anything like that before," says the bartender. "The hamster is really gifted." The chap downs the drink and asks the bartender for another. "Will that be cash or another miracle, pal?" asks the bartender. "Watch this," replies the man. Again, he reaches into his coat and pulls out a frog. He puts the frog onto the bar, and the frog starts to sing. The frog has a marvellous voice and perfect pitch. A fine singer.A stranger from the other end of the bar runs over to the guy and offers him £300 for the frog. "It's a deal," says the man. He takes the three hundred and gives the stranger the frog. The stranger runs out of the bar. "Are you crazy?" asks the bartender. "You sold a singing frog for £300? It could have been worth millions. You must be crazy." "No way," says the chap. "The hamster's a ventriloquist." |
