Miscellaneous Jokes
The Octopus
A guy walks into a bar with an octopus. He sits the octopus down on a stool and tells
everyone in the bar that this is a very talented octopus: it can play any musical instrument
in the world. The guy hears everyone in the crowd laughing at him, calling him an idiot,
etc., so he says that he will bet $50 against anyone who has an instrument that the octopus
can't play. A guy walks up with a guitar and sets it beside the octopus. The octopus starts
playing better than Jimi Hendrix, so the guitar-man pays his $50. Another guy walks up with
a trumpet. The octopus proceeds to play the trumpet better than Dizzie Gillespie, so the
trumpet-man pays his $50 as well. Finally, a Scotsman walks up with bagpipes. He sets
them down and the octopus fumbles with them for a minute before setting them back down
with a confused look.
"Ha!" says the Scot. "Can't you play it?"
The octopus looks up at him and says, "Play it? I'm going to mate with it as soon as I
figure out how to get its pajamas off!"
