A group of business professionals enjoyed happy hours
a couple days a week in an upscale bar in the financial district.
One of them had a secret ambition to become a magician. No one
would take him seriously and would poke fun at him, "how's
your magic coming?" "I'm working on some things"
would be his confident reply. Suddenly the wanna-be magician doesn't
show for happy hour. And again and again he didn't show. This
began to worry his friends so they agreed to go look for him if
he misses the next one. Several days later they were just about
to look for their missing friend when in he walks to the bar.
"What, been busy with your magic?" they teased. To their
astonishment, the guy pulls a miniature man out of his pocket
and puts it on the table. "Wow, that's the most amazing thing
I've ever seen, I can patent that" says the lawyer. That
wasn't all. The magician next pulls out a tiny piano and the miniature
man started playing the miniature piano. "You will make millions
and I will handle your estate" says the accountant. The magician
says "but, you guys were right, I'm not so good at magic
after all." "What?" wonders his amazed friends,
"you've done the best magic in history and you think you
are not a good magician"? "Well," says he says,
"you have to be very careful how you ENUNCIATE." "Why?"
the crowd asks. The magician responds, "do you really think
I tried to conjure a 10 inch pianist?"
