"Octopus in a Bar"
A man goes into a bar with his pet octopus and
says, "I bet $50 that no one here has a musical
instrument that this octopus cannot play."
The people in the bar look around and someone
fetches an old guitar. The octopus has a look,
picks it up, tunes the strings and starts playing.
The octopus's owner pockets the $50. Next guy
comes up with a trumpet. The octopus takes the
horn, loosens up the keys, licks it lips and starts
playing a fantastic jazz solo. The guy hands over
the $50. The bar owner has been watching all
this and disappears out back, returning with a set
of bagpipes under his arm. He puts them on the
bar and says to the guy and his octopus, "Now, if
your octopus can play that, I'll give you a $100.
The octopus takes a look at the bagpipes, lifts
them up, turns them over, has another look from
another angle.
Puzzled, the octopus owner comes up and says,
"What are you doing fooling around? Hurry up
and play the damn thing!"
The octopus says "Play it? If I can work out how
to get its pajamas off, I'm gonna screw it!!"
