He sets the creature down on the bartop, and pulls a one-hundred dollar bill from his pocket, and lays it down next to the octopus. He says to the bar at large, "I will bet $100 to anyone in here that they can't find an instrument my friend here can't play." So a man stands up near the back, and brings forwards a trumpet, which he hands to the octopus. The octopus takes it, studies it for just a moment, and then begins to play beautifully, to the amazement of the patrons. Shocked, the man hands over $100 and sits down with his trumpet. After a minute, another man comes forwards with a guitar. He hands it to the octopus, who turns it over in hsi tentacles for a minute or so before he begins to play that too, also stunningly well. So the man hands over $100 and sits back down. After a few minutes with no other takers, the bartender reaches below the counter and produces a set of bagpipes, which he hands to the octopus. The octopus takes the bagpipes and turns them over and over in his hands, studying them intently. But, try as he might, he can't seem to figure them out. After a little while, the man leans over and says, "Play it already, will you? You're making me look bad." The octopus says, "Play it? As soon as I figure out how to get it out of these pyjamas, I'm going to fuck the hell out of it!"
