The Magic Lamp
A man sat down at a bar, and noticed that the man next to him had a paper sack next to him on the ground that occasionally would move. He asked the fellow what the bag contained. They guy told him not to worry about it, and they continued drinking. A few cocktails later, the man inquired about the contents again. The guy with the sack set down his beer, opened the sack and pulled out a miniature piano and a little man about a foot tall. The little man sat down at the piano and began to play a beautiful song.
"That's amazing!" the man exclaimed, "Where did you get it?"
"Well, I found this old lamp in my attic, and when I rubbed it, a magic genie appeard and said that he would grant me anything that I wanted."
"Bull," his friend replied...
To prove that he wasn't lying, the man reached into his coat and produced a small silver lamp. He handed it over, and the fellow rubbed it. Poof - a magic genie appeard and said that he would grant him one wish.
The man, in awe, replied " I wish for a million bucks!"
Suddenly, there were a million ducks everywhere in the bar.
The man dropped the lamp and said angrily "Hey, I asked for bucks, not ducks!"
The man with the sack dejectedly looked over and replied,
"Yeah, I think the genie is hard of hearing... Do you really think I asked for a 12 inch pianist?
