An agent came to see the entertainment manager of a Las Vegas casino. “I have the most amazing act for you. People will come from all over the country to see it. Let me show you.” With that, he opened his suitcase and out popped fifty mice, each dressed in a tuxedo and carrying a musical instrument. They jumped up onto the suitcase where they set up their tiny music stands and sheet music. They tuned up their violins, set up the percussion section, and blew notes on the various trumpets, saxophones, clarinets, trombones and other instruments. The agent lifted his baton and the mice began to play heavenly, as though it were a performance by the New York Philharmonic. When the concert was over, the mice marched back into the suitcase and the agent said: “We’ll, what did I tell you? Isn’t this a terrific act?” “Well yes, frankly it is,” admitted the manager, “but with my clientele, I’m afraid I can’t use them.” “Why not?” “It’s that drummer. Sorry, but he looks too Jewish!”
