"Duck Show" joke
Walking into a bar the circus owner noticed everyone gathered around a table to watch a show. Getting closer he saw a pot was turned upside down and a duck was tap dancing on it. Thinking what a great circus act this could be, he offered to buy the duck from its owner. After some bartering back and forth, the owner of the duck said he would accept $5000 for the duck and would even throw the pot into the deal.
A few days later, the circus owner returned to the bar, furious with the duck's previous owner. "You ripped me off! Right in front of the whole audience I put the duck on the pot and he didn't dance at all, not one single step."
"That never happened to me. Did you remember to light the candle under the pot?" asked the former owner.
