A drunk is sitting in a bar.
“Bartender! Give me another drink,” he shouts.
The bartender shakes his head and says “No! You’re drunk.”
“Well,” the drunk says, “How about if I show you something really neat? Then, will you give me another drink?”
“OK,” the bartender says, “But it will have to be really spectacular.”
The drunk takes a small saxophone and a frog out of his pockets and sets them on the bar. The frog picks up the saxophone and starts playing a jazz song.
The bartender says that is worth a drink. The drunk guzzles it down, and asks for another.
“You can’t have another,” the bartender says. “You’ve had too many already.”
“If you let me have another drink, I’ll show you something more spectacular than the frog,” says the drunk.
The bartender laughs at the drunk, but he agrees. So the drunk pulls a hamster out of his pocket and puts it up on the bar beside the frog. The frog plays the saxophone again and the hamster sings to the music.
The bartender laughs and puts another drink on the bar.
Another guy sitting next to the drunk has been watching the show. He says “You’ve got an amazing team there. I’ll give you £1,000,000 for them right now.”
“They are not for sale,” the drunk says.
“OK, £1,000,000 just for the frog.”
“He’s not for sale.”
“OK, £1,000,000 just for the hamster.”
The drunk agrees, so the guy gives the drunk the money and walks out of the bar with the hamster.
The bartender, shocked and confused, asks the drunk “Why did you sell the hamster? You broke up an amazing team.”
“No I didn’t,” the drunk says. “You see, the frog’s a ventriloquist.”
