A man walks up to the bar at an Irish pub. The bartender asks the man "Say, is that music I hear?"
"Yes, yes it is" the man sighs. He then pulls from his coat a little man, about a foot tall, playing a piano.
"Say!" the bartender asks "Where did you get that!?"
"See that guy drinking in the corner? He's a leprechaun. He's granting wishes."
"Really!?" asks the bartender. "Be a good laddy and watch me bar for a moment."
So the bartender walks briskly over to the little man dressed in green and asks "Are you a leprechaun?"
The leprechaun looks up groggily and says "I am. One wish."
The bartender exclaims excitedly, "I wish I had a million bucks!"
The leprechaun points toward to the door and mumbles "Look outside. Your wish has been granted."
So the bartender runs to the door only to find ducks, as far as the eye can see. Ducks of every kind. About a million ducks.
The bartender sulks back inside and retakes his place behind the bar. "Say," he says to the man who was kind enough to watch the bar "I believe that leprechaun is hard of hearing."
The man looks back at him and replies "You think I asked for a 12 inch pianist?"
