A guy walks into a bar with an octopus.
He sits the octopus down on
a stool and tells everyone in the bar
that this is a very talented octopus.
"He can play any musical instrument in the=20
world."
Everyone in the bar laughs at the man,
calling him an idiot. So he says that he will
wager =A350 to anyone who has an instrument that
the octopus can't play. A customer walks
up with a guitar and sets it beside the octopus.
Immediately the octopus picks up the
guitar and starts playing
better Than Jimi Hendrix.
The guitar owner pays up the =A350.
Another customer walks up with a trumpet.
This time the octopus plays the trumpet
better than Miles Davis.
The trumpet-owner coughs up the =A350.
Then Jim, a Scotsman plonks some bagpipes
on the table. The octopus fumbles with the
bagpipes for a minute and then backs off with a
confused look.
Ha!" the Scot says. "Can ye nae plae it?"
The octopus looks up at him and says,
"Play it? I'm going to Fuck it as soon
as I figure out how to get its pyjamas off".
