Chap walks into a pub with a biscuit tin under one arm and a duck under the other, what you got there, asks the publican, a dancing duck was the response. Biscuit tin goes on the bar and the duck is placed on the tin and it commences to hop around on the tin 'dancing'.
The publican thinks this is great and so do the locals who go out and tell everyone about the wonderful dancing duck. Next thing you know the pub is packed out and people are queing up to see the amazing dancing duck.
The profits soar and the publican negotiates a deal with our lad and they settle on $2000 for the dancing duck.
The performance goes well into the night and the publican wants to shut up shop but people are still pouring in to see the amazing dancing duck. He asks our lad, who is still at the bar, how to stop the duck from dancing. Simple he responds, and takes the lid off the biscuit tin and blows out the candle.
