The ringmaster of a circus is in the pub and theres a large group of people stood around him.
the barman pushes through the crowd to see the ringmaster present his duck and a pot. He puts the duck down on the pot and to everyones amazement the duck starts dancing on the pot.
The barman and the crowd are stuned and start throwing money in to the cap in front of them.
After closing the barman chases the ringmaster and offers to buy the dancing duck
"i'm sorry sir the duck is not for sell" says the ringmaster
" i'll give you 1 thousand pounds for the duck" the barman says
" ok its a deal" the ringmaster says.
The next night in the pub the barman puts the duck on the pot and it just stands there all night not moving.
after closing furious the barman goes to the cirus and shouts at the ringmaster telling him the duck was a con and he had not moved all night.
the ringman asks " you put him on the pot right"
"yes" says the barman " and the bloody duck just sis'nt move what the hell is wrong with it"
"thats easy" said the barman " you forgot to light the candles in the bottom of the pot"
