An octopus walks into a bar and sees a band playing in the corner, composed of those bar-room heroes, an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman. He walks up and says âHi there, Iâm the best musician in the world. For a few dollars I can play any instrument you likeâ.
So the English guy goes âAlright then. Play thisâ and hands him a guitar. The octopus plays it better than Jimi Hendrix, better than Chuck Berry, better than anyone, and hands the guitar back to him. The Englishman pays up.
The Irishman says âOkay, how about this?â and shows him to the piano. The octopus sits down and plays it like never heard before â better than Jerry Lee Lewis and Elton John. The best pianist ever. The Irishman pays up.
Finally, the Scotsman says âAlright, letâs see ya play this thenâ and hands him a set of bagpipes. The octopus looks at them and fumbles with them. Couple more minutes and heâs still struggling and thereâs no sound coming out. Couple more minutes and still nothing so the Scotsman says âOh, so can you not play it then?â And the octopus says âPlay it? I'm going to make love to it as soon as I can get these bloody pajamas off.â
