BOONEY the barman comes over and asks what he'll have to drink. REB states his preference, something in the bag is moving around shaking the paper bag. BOONEY gives a puzzled look but proceeds to the tap. As he's filling the mug, he looks at the bag again and sees that something is still moving around in the bag. BOONEY brings the beer over and places it in front of REB.
BOONEY'S curiosity gets the best of him and he asks REB what he's got in the bag. REB reaches into the bag and pulls out a little piano and sets it on the bar... BOONEY looks intently at the piano as REB again reaches into the bag... pulling out a small piano bench. He places the bench in front of the piano and again reaches into the bag pulling out a foot tall man. The man sits at the piano and begins playing.
BOONEY says,"wow, he sure can play the piano, where'd you get him?"
REB looks at BOONEY and again reaches into the bag and pulls out a genie lamp. He hands it to BOONEY and says, "Here, go ahead, rub it.."
So BOONEY says, "Is there a real genie in there?"
REB says, "Yes, just rub it and see."
So BOONEY says okay and begins to rub the lamp... and out pops this beautiful genie.
She says, "I will grant you one wish, and one wish only."
So BOONEY ponders this for a moment and says, "Okay, I'd like a million bucks."
The genie disappears.. and they're both waiting and waiting and nothing happens. They both look at each other and shrug their shoulders. Then a minute later a duck pops up at the end of the bar. They both look at each other, very puzzled, and then another duck appears... and another, and another..and it continues.
BOONEY looks at REB and says, "I think your genie is deaf. I said I wanted a million bucks not a million ducks."
And REB says, "Yes, I know, DO YOU THINK I WANTED A TWELVE INCH PIANIST?!!!!!!!!!!"
