A guy walks into a bar and tells the bartender, "I don't have any money but if I show you something you've never seen before, will you give me a drink?" It's a slow afternoon and the bartender agrees. The guy pulls a hamster out of his pocket and puts it on the bar. The rodent scampers down the bar, leaps onto the piano and plays a pretty good rendition of "Basin Street Blues" by jumping from key to key. When it's done, it runs back and dives back in the guy's pocket. The bartender is impressed and give the guy a double. While the guy is sipping his drink, the bartender tries to buy the hamster. He offers the guy $50, $100, $250, and finally, $500 for the animal but the guy won't sell. The guy finishes his drink and says, "I'd sure like another. If I show you something else you've never seen, will you give me a drink?"
The bartender says, "Yeah, but not the hamster again. I've seen that."
The guy reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a frog and places it on the bar. He then pulls the hamster out and sets it next to the frog. While the hamster just sits there, the frog sings "Vesti La Giubba" from Il Palliacci. The bartender gives the guy another drink and tries to buy the frog. This time, the guy lets the animal go for $200.
The guy pockets the money, finishes his drink and heads for the door. The bartender says, "I don't get it. Why would you sell me the frog but not the hamster?"
The guy responds from the door, "A frog's a frog but a hamster that plays the piano AND does ventriloquism?..."
