A circus owner 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. The
circus owner was so impressed that he offered to buy
the duck from its owner. After some negotiations, they
settled on a figure of $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!"
"So?" asked the ducks former owner, "did
you remember to light the candle under the pot?"
