A circus owner
walked
into a bar to see everyone crowded about a table watching a little
show. On the table was an upside down pot and a duck tap dancing on it.
The circus owner was so impressed that he offered to buy the duck
from
its owner. After some wheeling and dealing, they settled for
$10,000
for the duck and the pot.
Three days later the circus
owner runs back to the bar in anger, "Your
duck is a ripoff! I put
him on the pot before a whole audience, and he
didn't dance a
single step!"
"So?" asked the ducks former owner, "did you remember
to light the
candle under the pot?"
