A HIT SONG

A MAN WALKED INTO A BAR AND ASKED THE BARTENDER IF HE
COULD HAVE A JOB PLAYING THE PIANO. THE BARTENDER SAID,
"LET ME HEAR YOU PLAY." THE MAN STARTED PLAYING A MOST
BEAUTIFUL MELODY. THE BARTENDER SAID, "THAT'S THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL SONG I EVER HEARD, WHY DON'T YOU GET THAT
PUBLISHED." WELL, THE MAN SAID, "I'VE TRIED
COUNTLESS NUMBER OF PUBLISHING COMPANIES, BUT THEY
ALL TURNED ME DOWN." THE BARTENDER SAID, "I JUST
CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WOULDN'T PUBLISH SUCH A HAUNTING
MELODY. WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?" THE MAN AT THE PIANO
SAID, "I CALL IT 'I LOVE YOU SO GOD-DAMN MUCH I
COULD SHIT."
