[lfjokes] The octopus

[Simondo]

A man walked into a bar with an octopus, which he placed on a
barstool.

"This octopus," he announced to the crowded bar, " is a Musical
Genius. It can play any instrument like a virtuoso. I challenge anyone here
to find a musical instrument it can't play"

Immediately someone presented the octopus with a violin. It lifted it up and
played so sweetly, so hauntingly, it would have put Yehudi Menuhin to shame.
Everyone was very impressed. Someone else stepped forward with an electric
guitar. The octopus plugged it in and played a tremendous jangling riff that
even Hendrix would have been proud of. The crowd went wild.

Then along came Doug with his set of bagpipes. The octopus stared at
Them for a while and turned them over in his tentacles.

"Well?" said Doug eventually, "Aren't you going to play it?"

 "Play it?" said the octopus, I'm going to fuck it if I can just get its
pyjamas off."
