 Title text: Good thing he didn't make it smaller, or it'd need someone three inches tall to play it. |
Explanation
The joke here is the reverse of an old joke that appeared in rec.humor.funny. In the original, the story-teller reports that he made a wish with a hard-of-hearing genie for a twelve inch penis and instead got a twelve inch pianist. In this version, Cueball wished for the twelve inch pianist to hard-of-hearing genie, and instead received a twelve-inch penis, to Megan's interest.
The title text is saying that if the guy had made a smaller miniature piano, he might have wished for a smaller "pianist" to play it and received an unfortunate size reduction.
