Bucks or Ducks?

Question

Deaf Genie

A Guy walks into a bar and notices this tiny man about a foot tall playing a tiny piano on top of the bar.

The guy asks the bartender about the tiny man and the bartender said he got it using his genie he had in the back room. The bartender offered the services of his genie to the guy.

The guy went into the back room and the genie told him he could have one wish. The guy said "I wish I had a million bucks".

The genie said that his wish had been granted. As the man left the bar he saw what must have been about a million ducks in the parking lot.

He storms back into the bar and asks the bartender "Whats the deal!" "Is your genie deaf or what?"

The bartender replies "You're not tellin' me anything I don't already know." "How do you think I got the 12 inch pianist?"

Answer 1

Um... maybe it's just as well that the bartender got the pianist. Twelve inches would otherwise be painful in most circumstances.

Lol - the only advantage is the little space the pianist would take (provided that the piano is also miniaturised).

The tedious and painful part is more for the tiny pianist having to live in an "oversized" environment ...

@ Marianne:

In that case, the bartender should have wished for a normal size (without specifying a measurement), and then there would have been no... umm...difficulties... at all.

Lol - as far as the normally sized pianist did not "cost" too much.

Speaking of pianists, I am reminded of a competition that Mozart (I think) had with some of his friends. The idea was that each contestant would write the notes for some original music, and then challenge the others to play the composition on the piano. In one of Mozart's compositions, there were two widely-separated chords, one very low, the other very high, and each requiring all five fingers of the player's hand. In addition, there was one note at or near middle C.

"How am I supposed to play that middle note?" demanded the player.

"Use your nose," replied Mozart.

At least I think he said nose.  (It's not recorded whether the player was male or female.)

Lol - young Mozart had his sister Nannerl when they were on trip with father Leopold, performing before European aristocracy and royalty.

As for the legend with the nose, there are, indeed, several versions, also one, in which, as a pupil, he challenged Haydn.

But that reminds me of several "keybord 4-hand" compositions, and performances by Brigitte Engerer and Boris Berezovsky, for instance: Hungarian Rhapsody - Liszt

(unfortunately, I couldn't find a short video on which they play Mozart).

and a funny one (Lavignac - Le grand galop pour huit mains)

Excellent performance! 

This piece was also used in many old cartoons.

Oh yes, they are funny - and you didn't forget about Tom and Jerry - the best! And I found also another one:

Thank you, Mountain Man - I like to share a good laugh.
