The Rat and the Frog..
A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "If I show
you a really good trick, will you give me a free drink?"
The bartender considers it, then agrees.
The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat.
He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano.
The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to
play the blues.
He puts the rat back into his pocket and is given a drink
by the bartender.
After the man finished his drink, he asked the bartender,
"If I show you an even better trick, will you give me free
drinks for the rest of the evening?"
The bartender agrees, thinking that no trick could possibly
be better than the first.
The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat.
He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano.
The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play
the blues. The man reaches into another pocket and pulls
out a small bullfrog, who begins to sing along with the
rat's music.
While the man is enjoying his beverages, a stranger comes
up and offers him $100,000.00 for the bullfrog.
"Sorry," the man replies, "he's not for sale."
The stranger increases the offer to $250,000.00, cash
up front.
"No," he insists, "he's not for sale."
The stranger again increases the offer, this time to a clean
$500,000.00, cash.
The man finally agrees, and turns the frog over to the
stranger in exchange for the money.
"Are you insane?" the bartender demanded. "That frog could
have been worth millions to you, and you let him go for
a mere $500,000!"
"Don't worry about it." the man answered. "The frog was really
nothing special. You see, the rat's a ventriloquist."
