Bar-the Rat walked into a bar to see everyone crowded about a table watching a little show. On the table was an upside down pot and a duck tap dancing on it. Bar-the Rat was so impressed that he offered to buy the duck from its owner.
After some wheeling and dealing, they settled for $10,000 for the duck and the pot. Three days later Bar-the Rat runs back to the bar in anger, "Your duck is a ripoff! I put him on the pot before a whole audience on the political platform and he didn't dance a single step!"
"So?" asked the ducks former owner, "did you remember to light the candle under the pot?"
