Bar Tricks

A mangy looking guy goes into a bar and orders a drink.  The bartender says: “No way.  I don’t think you can pay for it.”

The guy says, “You’re right.  I don’t have any money, but if I show you something you haven’t seen before, will you give me a drink?”

The bartender says, “Only if what you show me ain’t risque.”


“Deal!” says the guy.  He reaches into his coat pocket, pulls out a hamster and puts it on the bar.  The hamster runs to the end of the bar, scales down to the floor, runs across the room, up the piano, jumps on the keyboard and starts playing Gershwin songs.

The bartender says, “You’re right, I’ve never seen anything like that before.  That hamster is truly good on the piano.”   He gives the the a drink.  After the guy chugs the drink, he asks for another.

“Money or another miracle else no drink,” says the bartender.


The guy reaches into coat, pulls out a frog and puts it on the bar.  The frog to starts to sing and turns out he has a marvelous voice with a great pitch.


A stranger from the other end of the bar comes over to the guy and offers him $300 for the frog.  The guy accepts the money and hands over the frog.  The stranger then runs out of the bar with the frog.  The bartender says to the guy, “Are you some kind of nut? You sold a singing frog for $300?  It must have been worth millions.  You must be crazy!”



“Not really,” says the guy.  “The hamster is also a ventriloquist and can throw his voice across the room.”
