Pianist yells “You’re on!”
Octopus flexes its tentacles, plays “Big Chief.”
Pianist peels off five 10 dollar bills.
“Fifty bucks he can’t play a saxophone!”
Octopus produces a reeded mouthpiece, puts it on the sax, and proceeds to blow a soulful “Skylark.” Another $50.
Bartender slaps down some bagpipes. “$100!”
Octopus gently examines the bagpipes, which wheeze quietly with each poke.
“Come on!” said the man. “100 bucks! Play!”
“Play??” said the octopus. “Once I figure how to get her pajamas off, we’re outta here!”
