In the original, the story-teller has a diminutive penis, and reports that he made a wish with a hard-of-hearing genie and got a twelve inch pianist. In this version, the man wished for the twelve inch pianist to hard-of-hearing genie, and the girl realized what he got instead.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :[Man is holding a box with an open lid. A miniature piano is inside. The girl is looking at it]<br /> :Man: My hobby is making miniatures. Check this out&amp;mdash; it's a fully-functional grand piano.<br /> :Woman: Woah &amp;mdash; beautiful.<br /> <br /> :[Man looks at the miniature piano]<br /> :Man: Sadly, I've never heard what proper music sounds like on it&amp;mdash;the keys are too small to play.<br /> <br /> :[Man closes lid to the piano.]<br /> :Man: I once asked a genie for someone who could play it for me, but I think he misheard.<br /> :Girl: ... are you doing anything later?<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}} <br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Cueball]]<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Megan]]<br /> [[Category:My Hobby]]</div>
