A guy walks into a bar, with a duck under one arm, and a metal can under
the other. He puts them both down on a table, and orders a beer. Then he
lifts the duck onto the top of the can, and it starts to tap dance. 
Customers gather round the duck, amazed at this talented fowl. Before too
long, the bar is full to the seams with people, and the bar owner is
making a fortune. Two hours later, the bar is closing, but the duck is
still dancing. 

"Hey......how much d'ya want for the duck ?" asks the bartender. "To you,
$500" says the guy. So the barman takes the $500 from the till, and hands
it over.

The next night, the guy returns to the bar, and the bartender says.. 

"That duck is like the goose with the golden egg, I'm making serious
money.  But how in hell do you stop him dancing ? He hasn't stopped since
you first brought him in here. "

"That's simple" says the guy. " You lift the lid of the can, and snuff out
the candles"
