A guy walks into
a bar with an octopus. He sits the octopus down on a
stool and tells everyone in the bar that this is a very talented octopus.
"He can play any musical instrument in the world."
Everyone in the bar laughs at the man, calling him an idiot. So he says
he will wager $50 to anyone who has an instrument that the octopus can't
play.
A customer walks up with a guitar and sets it beside the octopus.
Immediately the octopus picks up the guitar and starts playing better
than Jimi Hendrix.
The guitar owner pays up the $50.
Another customer walks up with a trumpet. This time the octopus plays
the trumpet better than Miles Davis.
The trumpet-owner coughs up the $50.
Then Jim, a Scotsman, plonks some bagpipes on the table. The octopus
fumbles with the bagpipes for a minute and then backs off with a confused look.
Ha!" the Scot says. "Can ye nae plae it?"
The octopus looks up at him and says, "Play it? I'm going to shag it as
soon as I figure out how to get its pyjamas off.""
