A man goes into this pub with an octopus under his arm.
"I'll wager £50 my octopus can play any musical instrument in the world, " says he.
The clientele's ears prick up and they agree to the wager. "Bring it on," says the man.
Someone produces a harmonica and quick as a flash the octopus is playing a ditty that would have shamed Bob Dylan. The stakes are raised to £100 and someone brings out a banjo from a bag. With no effort at all the octopus is making like George Formby and the crowd are agog! Next comes a Senegalese thumb piano, the talented invertebrate has no problem with this and it's like Youssou N'Dour is in the pub!
The wager is then raised to £1000 by a rather posh man with an Edinburgh accent. "I'll bet he can't play THESE!" says he and produces a set of bagpipes. The crowd gasp.
The octopus looks confused and turns the bagpies over in his tentacles for some minutes before the Edinburgh gent finally says "Get on and play it, laddy!"
"Play it?" says the octopus. "I'm going to shag it as soon as I get it's pyjamas off."
