He orders a couple of beers, and after a few moments the bartender, head cocked, says, "Buddy, I don't mean to be coarse, but what's with the octopus?"
"This octopus?" the guy begins, thumbing at his octopodine companion, "Oh this guy is a musical virtuoso. He'd play any instrument you have here better than you've ever heard played before--"
The bartender cuts him off with a chortle.
The guy doesn't miss a beat, "And I'll bet you 50 bucks on an instrument of your choice."
The bartender takes the bet and points to the piano.
The octopus hops off the guy's shoulder, waltzes over to the piano, hops up and proceeds to tickle the ivories better than the bartender has ever heard before.
He's flabbergasted. Incredulous. Stupefied. So he does what any man would do, and demands to go double or nothing. "A lucky fluke, let's go one more time on this trumpet."
The guy agrees without hesitation, the octopus plays the trumpet, and you know how well he plays it. Better than the bartender has ever heard before.
Well, they keep going like this, double or nothing after double or nothing, instrument after instrument, until finally the bartender is into the guy for 3200 dollars.
Looking desperate, the bartender says, "Mac, this has got to end now. Let's go double or nothing just one more time and I either pay you three months of savings or we end up all clear."
The guy mulls it over, thinking perhaps he should just walk with his guaranteed, substantial winnings. But being a gambler-at-heart and a businessman, he decides to go for it. "Okay, one last double or nothing, and then we'll settle up."
The bartender pulls out a set of bagpipes from behind the bar and hands them to the octopus. The octopus just starts fiddling with the pipes. After a minute of this, the guy says, "Hey, Partner, we've got 6400 bucks on the line, are you gonna play that thing or what?"
The octopus looks at him, surprised, "Play it? As soon as I figure how to get its pajamas off I'm gonna fuck it!"
