A Perplexed Genie


A man walks into a bar carrying a paper bag. He sits down at the bar, putting the paper bag on top of it. As he is ordering a drink, the bartender notices that the bag is moving.

He asks, "What is in that bag?"

The man reaches into the bag and pulls out a tiny piano. He reaches in again and pulls out a man who is 12 inches tall. The man sits at the piano and begins to play.

"That's amazing!" Says the bartender. "Where did that come from?"

The man goes into the bag again and pulls out a genie's lamp. He explains, "I found this lamp. When I rubbed it, a genie came out and said she could grant me one wish."

The bartender thinks this is pretty intesting so he asks, "Would you mind if I tried?"

"Go ahead, " says the man.

So the bartender begins to rub the lamp... and out pops this beautiful genie.

She says, "I will grant you one wish, and one wish only."

So the bartender ponders this for a moment and says, "Okay, I'd like a million bucks."

The genie disappears.. and they're both waiting and waiting and nothing happens. They both look at each other and shrug their shoulders. Then a minute later a duck pops up at the end of the bar. They both look at each other, very puzzled, and then another duck appears... and another, and another.. and it continues.

The bartender looks at the guy and says, "I think your genie is deaf. I said I wanted a million bucks not a million ducks."

And the man says, "Yes, I know, do you think I wanted a twelve inch pianist?"
