I agree with alot that he says , and he loves to hate the Free Press, no question about that. I think I am the only caller he has ever hung up on after disagreeing with him on something, though. It's the best radio in Winnipeg at that time of day.

So, the man reaches into the bag and pulls out a little man, all of about maybe 12 inches tall, and he sets him on the counter.

He reaches back into the bag and pulls out a small piano. Then he reaches into the bag pulls out a tiny piano bench.

The little man sits down at the piano and starts playing a beautiful piece by Mozart.

"Where on earth did you get that?", the bartender asks.

The man responds by reaching into the paper bag and pulling out what looks like a little genie lamp. He hands it to the bartender and says, "Here, rub it."

So the bartender rubs the lamp, and suddenly there's a puff of smoke and a genie magically appears and says, "I will grant you one wish, just one."

The bartender gets really excited, and without hesitating, he says, "I wish I had a million bucks !"

A few moments later, a duck walks into the bar, and then another duck, and then another. Pretty soon, the entire bar is filled with ducks and they keep coming!

The bartender turns to the man and says, "Y'know, I think your genie's a little hard of hearing. I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!"

To which the man answers "Do you really think I asked for a 12-inch pianist?!")

Jondo wrote:Ahh yes, it was. And thanks, yes - Marty the Math guy was where my memory was going. So I remain unaware, after spending my enire life in Wpg - as to who Marty Gold is. Surely he has a history that led to him being on the radio and properly dissing the Freep.

On Thursday, the hotel chain issued a statement that they have already spent $500,000 on interior renovations that included capping a basement well, roof repairs, the removal of an interior drop ceiling and the installation of a temporary furnace.

The chain said it has submitted preliminary interior plans to the city and has applied to demolish the non-heritage structure that sits south of the building. Canad Inns will soon apply for permits to restore the exterior and is in the midst of selecting contractors to perform the work, the statement said.
