A man walks into a bar and hears music coming from the piano, but he doesn’t see anyone sitting at the bench. Upon closer inspection he sees a man about a foot tall playing the beautiful musc.
He goes over to the barkeep and asks, “What’s with the piano player?”
The barkeep pulls a lamp out from under the bar and says, “Give it a rub.”
The man gives the lamp a tentative rub and out pops a genie. “Congratulations!” Says the genie. For freeing me from the lamp I will grant you a wish. Go ahead and name your desire.
The man thinks for a moment and then says, “I’d like a million bucks.”
“Done!” exclaims the genie, and disappears.
The man looks around, confused, then lookes in his wallet. Just as he’s putting his wallet away a million ducks come barrelling through the room. After a considerable kerfluffle the man and the barkeep managed to get the ducks out of the bar.
When it was finally done the man said to the barkeep, “I’m awfully sorry. I don’t know what happened. I didn’t ask the genie for a million ducks.”
The barkeep asks, “Do you think I asked for a 12-inch pianist?”
