A guy walks into a bar with an octopus under his arm. He sets the  
octopus on a stool next to him and announces: “This is an amazing octopus. I’ll bet anyone in this bar $50 that this octopus can play any instrument set in  
front of it.”

None of the people could believe this, so one guy brought up a  
guitar. The octopus took hold of the guitar and started picking away, better than Jimi Hendrix. The man took $50 from the guitarist.

Next someone brings up a trumpet. The octopus started playing the  
trumpet, better than Herb Alpert. The man won another $50 from the trumpeter.

Then some guy brought up some bagpipes. The octopus picked up the  
bagpipes for a minute and, looking a little puzzled, set them down again.  
“Can’t you play the bagpipes?” asked the man. “Play it?” said the octopus, “I’m gonna screw it as soon as I figure out how to get its pajamas off.”
