Stop me if you've heard this before . . .
A man walks into a bar with a box, sits down and orders a shot of whiskey. The bartender gives the man his drink and, as he walks away, hears the man open the box and groan before putting the lid back on.
This happens several times. Finally, the bartender becomes curious enough to speak with the man. Handing him another shot, he asks, "Hey, buddy, what's in the box?"
The man agrees to show the bartender for a free drink and, after the bartender agrees, opens the lid of the box- exposing a tiny man playing a baby grand piano.
The bartender is astounded; he watches the pianist play for a moment before asking the man how he came about the little man. The man explained that he found a magic bottle, rubbed on it a few times and was granted a wish by the genie inside.
The bartender requests a chance to make a wish and, after agreeing to yet even more free liquor for the customer, is handed the magic bottle. He rubs the bottle as hard as he can and sure enough, a genie appears and tells the man he'd grant him one wish.
"I wish," says the bartender, "for one million bucks!"
The genie nods and disappears. The bartender impatiently waits for his wish to be granted as the man with the box continues downing shots.
Five minutes later, the bar door opens and a duck walks in. A few seconds behind the first duck, a second and third follow. Shortly thereafter, a steady stream of ducks begin filling the bar from floor to ceiling. All of the patrons in the bar run out the back as the ducks begin cramming themselves into the establishment.
The bartender grows frantic. "What the hell is this," he cries, "I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!"
The man at the bar throws back his last shot and, with a shake of his head, says, "Do you really think I wished for a ten-inch pianist?"
