A mangy looking guy who goes into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender
says: "No way. 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 and 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 the
bar, across the room, up the piano, jumps on the key board and starts playing
Gershwin 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 good 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. He has a marvelous voice and great 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. The guy says "It's a deal." He takes the three
hundred and gives the stranger the frog. The stranger runs out of the bar.
The bartender says to the guy "Are you some kind of nut? You sold a singing
frog for $300? It must have been worth millions. You must be crazy."
"Not so", says the guy. "The hamster is also a ventriloquist."
