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."
