A man enters his local bar holding a frog and an iguana. He sets them down on the bar and says to the bartender, "I bet you $1000 that my frog here can sing any song you can think of." "Ok," says the bartender. "How 'bout 'Blue Moon'?" The man whispers something to the frog, and the frog starts singing blue moon. "That's amazing," says the bartender as he slaps down $1000. "I'll bet ya another $1000 that my iguana here can do that to." "Ok, I can believe a frog, but not an iguana. You're on. Have him sing the Star Spangled Banner." The man whispers something to the iguana and it sings the Star Spangled Banner. As the bartender hands over another $1000, a businessman comes up and says, "I just saw that and I was amazed. I want to buy your iguana for $100,000." The man said ok, and he exchanged the iguana for the money and the businessman left. The bartender said "What are you nuts?! You could have made millions with that iguana!" The man said "Oh, the iguana can't sing. The frog's a ventriloquist."

     一个男人来到当地的一家小酒馆,带着一只青蛙和一条鬣蜥.他把它们放在吧台上,对酒保说,"我和你赌1000美元,赌我的青蛙会唱任何你想到的歌曲如何?"

    "好的,"酒保说."来首'蓝月亮'如何?"

    男人对着青蛙悄悄说了些什么,青蛙就开始唱'蓝月亮'了.

    "太惊奇了,'酒保说着把1000美元放在他面前.

    "我敢打赌1000美元我这个鬣蜥也会象青蛙一样唱歌."

    "好吧,我相信你的青蛙能唱歌,但鬣蜥不可能.赌吧.就叫它唱首'星条旗'(美国国歌)吧."

    男子又和鬣蜥悄悄说了点什么,它就唱了'星条旗'.

    在酒保拿出又一叠1000美元时,一个商人走过来说,"我刚刚看到你的表演,真是太惊奇了.我想出10万美元买你的鬣蜥."

    男人说可以,他就和商人做了鬣蜥的交易,商人就走了.

    酒保说,"你是疯了吗?! 你的鬣蜥可以卖几百万的钱!"
