A fellow walks into a bar and after his first sip of beer, reaches into his pocket and pulls out what appears to be a round stool, only about four inches tall. He places the minature stool on the bar. Then, after another sip, he reaches into his pocket again and this time pulls out a minature grand piano, perfectly proportioned, to go with the stool. He places this on the bar in front of the stool. Finally, he reaches in his pocket yet a third time, and this time pulls out a little man, all dressed in a formal tuxedo, who is about a foot tall. He places the man on the bar, where the man proceeds to walk over to the stool, sit down, and begin to play exquisite Mozart on the grand piano.
Another customer, who had watched all these proceedings with fascination turned to the customer and said "That’s amazing. How did you do that?"
The men puts his hand into his pocket yet a fourth time and this time withdraws a beat-up ancient looking bottle. The man says "I found this bottle and if you rub it, a genie comes out and will grant you a wish. Here, go ahead and try it."
Well, the other customer was all excited and said "May I really?" grasping the bottle and rubbing it. Sure enough, a Genie appears who indicates he will satisfy the customer’s wish.
The customer thinks for a moment and then says "I wish for a million bucks". In a moment the bar is filled with the sounds of flapping wings and duck honks. The customer turns to the fellow who loaned him the genie’s bottle and says "What a gyp! Doesn’t this genie understand English. I didn’t ask for a million ducks; I asked for a million bucks."
"And you thought maybe I had requested a twelve-inch pianist?"
