Hopping on Opportunity
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 mangy guy says, "You're right. I don't have a lot of money.
But. if I show you something terrific that you haven't seen before, will you then give me a drink?"
The bartender says, "Only if what you show me isn't risque."
"Deal!" says the mangy guy and he reaches into his coat pocket
and pulls out a hamster.
He puts the hamster on the bar and it runs to the end of the bar, down the bar, across the room,
up the piano, jumps on the keyboard and starts playing songs.
And the hamster is pretty good.
The bartender says, "You're right. I've never seen anything like that before. :surprised: That hamster is good on the piano."
A guy at the end of the bar runs over and offers the mangy guy $500
for the hamster.
"No way, states the mangy guy. This hamster is not for sale for any price."
The mangy guy downs the drink and asks the bartender for another.
"Money or another miracle else no drink," says the bartender.
So, the mangy guy reaches into his coat again and pulls out a frog.
He puts the frog on the bar, and the frog starts to sing in a marvelous voice and great pitch. He's a fine singer.
The stranger from the other end of the bar runs over to the guy and offers him $300 for the frog.
The guy says, "It's a deal."
He takes the $ 300 and gives the stranger the frog.
The stranger runs out of the bar with the frog.
The bartender says to the guy, "Are you some kind of nut ?
You wouldn't sell the hamster for $500 but you sold a singing frog for $300?
It must have been worth millions.
You must be crazy."
As he finishes his second drink and begins to the leave the bar, the mangy guy retorts, "Not so, I can catch lots of frogs.
But, I'm not sure I'll find another hamster that can play piano and is also a ventriloquist."
