The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues. After the man finished his drink, he asked the bartender, \"If I show you an even better trick, will you give me free drinks for the rest of the evening?\" The bartender agrees, thinking that no trick could possibly be better than the first. The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny rat. He reaches into his other pocket and pulls out a tiny piano. The rat stretches, cracks his knuckles, and proceeds to play the blues. The man reaches into another pocket and pulls out a small bullfrog, which begins to sing along with the rat's music. While the man is enjoying his free drinks, a stranger confronts him and offers him $400 for the bullfrog. \"Sorry,\" the man replies, \"he's not for sale.\" The stranger increases the offer to $500 cash up front. \"No,\" he insists, \"he's not for sale.\" The stranger again increases the offer, this time to $700 cash. The man finally agrees, and turns the frog over to the stranger in exchange for the money. \"Are you insane?\" the bartender demanded. \"That frog could have been worth millions to you, and you let him go for a mere $700\" \"Don't worry about it.\" the man answered. \"The frog was really nothing special.
