The Frog and the Hamster

=--=

A mangy looking guy who goes into a bar and orders a drink. The

bartender

says: "No way. I don't think you can pay for it." The guy says,

"You're

right.

I don't have any money, but if I show you something you haven't seen

before,

will you give me a drink?"

The bartender says, "Only if what you show me ain't risque."

"Deal!" says

the guy and reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a hamster. He

puts the

hamster on the bar and it runs to the end of the bar, down the bar,

across the

room, up the piano, jumps on the key board and starts playing Gershwin

songs.

And the hamster is really good.

The bartender says, "You're right. I've never seen anything like

that

before. That hamster is truly good on the piano." The guy downs the

drink

and asks the bartender for another.

"Money or another miracle else no drink", says the bartender. The guy

reaches

into his coat again and pulls out a frog. He puts the frog on the bar,

and the

frog starts to sing. He has a marvelous voice and great pitch. A fine

singer.

A

stranger from the other end of the bar runs over to the guy and offers

him

$300

for the frog.

The guy says "It's a deal." He takes the three hundred and gives

the

stranger the frog. The stranger runs out of the bar. The bartender

says to

the guy "Are you some kind of nut? You sold a singing frog for $300?

It

must

have been worth millions. You must be crazy."

"Not so", says the guy. "The hamster is also a ventriloquist."
