A circus owner walked into a bar to find everyone crowded about a
table watching a little show. On the table was an upside-down pot
and a duck tap dancing on it.
The circus owner 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 the circus owner runs back to the bar in anger,
“Your duck is a rip-off! I put him on the pot before a whole
audience and he didn’t dance a single step!”
“That’s strange” said the duck’s former owner, “did you remember
to light the candle under the pot?”
