A guy carrying a brown paper bag goes into a bar and orders a drink
The bartender smiles, pours the drink and then, unable to contain his curiosity, says, "So, what's in the bag?"

The man gives a little laugh and says, "You wanna see? Sure you can see what's in the bag," and he reaches in and pulls out a tiny piano, no more than six inches tall.

"What's that?" asks the bartender. The man doesn't say anything he just reaches into the bag a second time and pulls out a tiny man, about a foot tall, and sits him down next to the piano.

"Wow," says the bartender, absolutely astonished. "I've never in my life seen anything like that."

The little man begins to play Chopin. "Holy cow," says the bartender, "where did you ever get him?"

The man sighs and says, "Well you see, I found this magic lamp and it has a genie in it. He can grant you anything you want but only gives one wish."

The bartender scowls, "Oh, yeah, sure. Who are you trying to kid?"

"You don't believe me?" says the man, somewhat offended. He reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a a silver lamp with an ornate curved handle.

"Here it is. Here's the lamp with the genie in it. Go ahead and rub it if you don't believe me."

So the bartender pulls the lamp over to his side of the counter and,looking at the man skeptically, rubs the lamp. And then POOF, a genie appears over the bar, bows to the bartender and says, "Sire, your wish is my command. I shall grant thee one wish and one wish only."

The bartender gasps but quickly gains his composure and says, "Okay, okay, give me a million bucks!" The genie waves his wand and all of a sudden the room is filled with myriads of quacking ducks. They're all over the place, making a terrible noise: Quack, quack, quack!

The bartender turns to the man and says, "Hey! What's the matter with this genie? I asked for a million bucks and I get a million ducks. Is he deaf or something?"

The man looks at him and replies, "Well, do you really think I asked for a twelve-inch pianist?"
