Talented Hamster
A scroungy dirty lookin guy goes into a bar and
orders a drink. The bartender says "No chance. I don't think you
can pay for it."
The guy says "You're right. I don't have any money, but if I show
you something you haven't seen before, will you give me a drink?"
The bartender says "Only if what you show me ain't risque."
"Deal!" says the guy, as he reaches into his coat pocket and pulls
out a hamster. He puts the hamster on the bar and it runs to the
end of the bar, down a barstool, across the room, up to the piano
and starts playing Elton John songs. And the hamster is really
good.
The bartender says, "You're right. I've never seen anything like
that before. That hamster is truly great on the piano."
The guy downs the drink and asks the bartender for another. "Money
or another miracle else no drink," says the bartender. The guy
reaches into his coat again and pulls out a frog. He puts the
frog on the bar, and the frog starts to sing Michael Bolton numbers.
He has a superb voice and great pitch. A stranger from the other
end of the bar runs over to the guy and offers him $400 for the
frog.
The guy says "It's a deal." He takes the 400 bux and hands the
frog to the stranger, who runs out of the bar with it. The bartender
says to the guy, "Are you nuts???! You sold a singing frog for
$400? It must have been worth millions. You must be crazy!"
"Not so," says the guy. "The hamster is also a ventriloquist!"
