A guy goes into a bar with his pet octopus and says, 'I bet $50.00
that no one here has a musical instrument that this octopus can't
play.'
The people in the bar look around and someone fetches out an old
guitar. The octopus has a look, picks it up, tunes up the strings
and starts playing. The octopus's owner pockets the fifty bucks.
Next guy comes up with a trumpet. The octopus takes the horn,
loosens up the keys, licks it's lips and starts playing a
fantastic jazz solo. The guy hands over another fifty bucks to the
octopus's owner.
The bar owner has been watching all this and disappears out back,
coming back a few moments later with a set of bagpipes under his
arm. He puts them on the bar and says to the guy and his octopus,
'Now, if your octopus can play that I'll give you a hundred
dollars.'
The octopus takes a look at the bagpipes, lifts them up, turns
them over, has another look from another angle.
Puzzled, the octopus' owner interrupts his pet's concentration,
saying, 'What are you messing around for? Hurry up and play it!'
The octopus say's 'Play it? Huh?!? I was still trying to figure
out how to take of her pyjamas...'
