A shabby-looking man walked into an upscale bar full of businessmen and ordered a Scotch. The bartender looked him over and says, "Sir, I don't believe you can afford the drinks at this establishment. May I ask that you go somewhere else?"
The man shrugged and said, "You're right. I don't have any money on me. But I'll tell you what. I can show you a miracle. If I do, can I have one on the house?"
The bartender sighed & nodded, and the man took a hamster out of the pocket of his overcoat. Before the bartender can tell the man animals aren't allowed, the man leaned down to the hamster and said, "Play."
The hamster darted over to the grand piano in the corner & ran across the keys, playing Gershwin songs. It was incredible. At the end of the hamster's set, everyone applauded and the bartender poured the man a glass of bus best Scotch.
The man tossed back the Scotch
and said, "That was incredible! If I show you another miracle, can I have another drink?" The bartender nodded and the man pulled a frog from his other coat pocket, leaned down and said, “Sing.”

The frog opened his mouth and begins singing a love song in a deep rich voice. Everyone in the bar stopped talking to listen to the frog. Some had tears in their eyes, thinking about the ones they love and the loves that slipped away. There wasn’t a dry eye in the bar.
When the frog was finished the whole bar bursts into applause and the weeping bartender gave the man the whole bottle of fine Scotch.
One of the businessmen came up to the man and said, "Hey buddy, you look hard up. I'll give you five thousand dollars for the frog, what do you say?" The man thought it over, said yes and accepted five thousand dollars for the frog.
he businessman took the frog and left the bar. The bartender, shocked, looked at the man and shouted, "Are you nuts? That frog is beautiful! And it’s a SINGING FROG! How could you let go of something worth a fortune like that?"
The guy took a swig from the bottle and said, “No worries –
the hamster is also a ventriloquist."
