SMART MAN

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.
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 confronts
him 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 $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."
