That's one of my favorite old jokes but the version I heard of it went:
A man walks into a bar, sits down, and orders drink. While the bartender was mixing his drink he noticed a tiny little piano right next to his elbow at the end of the bar. When the bartender returned the patron asked the bartender what was in the sack. So the bartender lifted the end of the sack and finger-motioned to it's contents. Amazingly the tiniest man ever casually strolled out of the sack and begin playing a western-style bar can-can perfectly. Well, the patron was highly amused by the little man and his piano and asked the bartender where on Earth he found such a man. The bartender the pulled out a magical lamp from under the bar and said that the genie of the lamp had given him the man. After some intense bartering the bartender agrees to let his patron have one wish in exchange for a million dollars. Thinking he had gotten the better of the bartender the patron rubbed the lamp, out popped the genie, and he made his wish for ten million bucks. *POOF* The next thing he knew the entire bar was filled with ten million ducks quacking, flapping, and crapping everywhere. The patron then hurled the lamp back to bartender demanding he didn't have to pay him his money because the genie was obviously deaf as he had wished for ten million bucks not ten million ducks. To which the bartender replies; "What did you think? That I actually wished to a genie for a foot long pianist?"
