Who would have promised her an 8" weatherman?

This one should be for OFST, but you all can enjoy it on Wednesday.

A man walks into a bar and hears some beautiful piano music. He looks at the piano and sees no one there. He walks over for a closer look and there's a man, about a foot tall, standing on the bench and playing beautiful piano music.

The man walks over to the bartender, hooks his thumb, and says, "What's with the tiny piano player?"

Without a word, the bartender pulls an object from beneath the bar that appears to be an ancient lamp. The bartender hands the man a rag and nods his head. So the man takes the rag and rubs the lamp,

Out pops a genie (or is that a djinn?) who intones, "For freeing me from the lamp, I will grant you one wish. What is your wish, Oh Master?"

The man, not sure if this is real, says, "I'd like a million bucks".

"DONE!" says the genie, and he vanishes.

The man looks around. Seeing nothing on the bar he says, "I wonder where my million bucks is?" He's just reaching for his wallet to look in there when suddenly the bar is filled with panicky, flapping, quacking ducks that are creating total havoc. The man helps the bartender usher the ducks out of the bar, which takes quite a bit of time and energy, waving their arms and shouting like madmen.

Finally the last duck has quit the bar and the man says to the bartender, "I'm really sorry. I have no idea what happened. I didn't wish for a million ducks."

The bartender, finally speaking, asks, "Do you think I asked for a twelve-inch pianist?"

Another thing to be grateful for—not encountering a genie/djinn w/hearing deficit. OTOH, lol!
