A mangy looking guy went into a bar and ordered a drink.  The bartender said:  "No way.  I don't think you can pay for it.  The guy replied, "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 said, "Only if what you show me ain't risqué."  "Deal!" said the guy and reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a hamster.  He put the hamster on the bar and it ran to the end of the bar, climbed down the bar, ran across the room, up the piano, jumped on the keyboard and started playing a tune.  And the hamster was really good.  The bartender said, "You're right.  I've never seen anything like that before.  That hamster is truly good on the piano."  The guy downed the drink and asked the bartender for another.  "Money or another miracle, or else no drink", said the bartender.  The guy reached into his coat again and pulled out a frog.  He put the frog on the bar, and the frog started to sing.  He had a marvellous voice and great pitch.  A fine singer.  A stranger from the other end of the bar ran over to the guy and offered him $300 for the frog.  The guy said, "It's a deal."  He took the three hundred and gave the stranger the frog.  The stranger ran out of the bar.  The bartender said 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 so", replied the guy.  "The hamster is also a ventriloquist."
