OT Joke stolen from another newsgroup

Two friends were playing golf when one pulled out a cigar. He did
not have a lighter so he asked his friend if he had one.
"I sure do," he replied and reached into his golf bag and pulled out a
12 inch Bic lighter.
"Wow!" said his friend, "Where did you get that monster?"
"I got it from my genie."
"You have a genie?" he asked. "Yes, he is right here in my golf bag."
"Could I see him?"
He opened his golf bag and out popped the genie. The friend turned to
the genie and said,
"I am a good friend of your master. Will you grant me one wish?"
"Yes I will," the genie said.
"I wish for a million bucks!"
The genie hopped back into the golf bag and left him standing there
waiting for his wish to be delivered.
Suddenly the sky began to darken and the sound of a million ducks
flying overhead was heard.
The friend turned to his golfing partner, "I asked for a million bucks
not ducks!"
"I forgot to tell you the genie is hard of hearing. Do you really
think I asked him for a 12 inch Bic?"

My version involved the guy at the bar with a foot tall piano player
in a basket.

During an interview, Artur Rubinstein was once called upon to settle
one of the great burning musical questions of the age. "Are you a PEE-
anist or a pi-AN-ist?" he was asked. The maestro replied, "I'm a
piano player."

giles
who supposes that this one, like ira gershwin's favorite joke,
generally does better orally than it does in print.

Giles,
You're right mate and it has to be told with a strong American accent, good
joke all the same.

Giles,

I'm trying to imagine living in Oz and saying "He's a right dinkum
cobber!" with an American accent. It makes my head feel
funny.

good joke all the same.

I was led to believe that it's a true story (although I'm not
absolutely sure it was Rubinstein) and thus it isn't technically a
joke*.....but yeah, it's a good'un all the same.

giles
*or maybe it still is......dunno.....interesting problem.
