Tenticular Gesticulation

Scotstopus

A guy walks into a bar with an octopus under his arm and tells everyone it can play any musical instrument in the world. They all laugh at him so he wagers $50 to anyone who has an instrument the octopus cannot play.

One man approaches with a guitar and sets it down. The octopus starts playing better than Jimi Hendrix.

Next up is a trumpet and the octopus blows it as well as Dizzie Gillespie.

Then a Scotsman walks up with bagpipes. The octopus fumbles with them for a minute before sitting them down with a confused look.

"Ha!" the Scot says. "Can't you play it?"

The octopus looks up at him and says, "Play it? I'm going to make love to it as soon as I figure out how to get its pyjamas off."
