A
man walks into Johnny Foxes with a paper bag. He sits down and places
the bag on the bar. The bartender asks: "So whadda ya got in the bag?"
The man reached into the bag and pulled out a little man, about one
foot high, and sets him on the counter. He reaches back into the bag
and this time pulls out a small piano and tiny piano bench, which he
placed in front of the piano. The little man sits down at the piano
and starts playing a gorgeous piece by Mozart.
Now the bartender is extremely curious about this odd sight, so he asks
the man, "Where the hell'd ya get that?" The man responded by reaching
into the paper bag, but 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, then a beautiful genie
is standing before him. "I will grant you one wish," she says. The bartender
without even hesitating says: "I want a million bucks." So the genie
nods her head and disappears in another gust of smoke. A few moments
later, a duck walks into the bar. It is soon followed by another duck,
then another. Pretty soon, Johnny Foxes is filled with ducks.
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." To
this the man responded: "No kidding! Do you really think that I would
have ever wished for a TWELVE INCH PIANIST?!!"
