What does happen if you play backwards a vinyl record of country music?
Your wife returns, your dog comes back to life, your house is forming. (Why? Because every country song's subject is the same: "My wife left me, my dog passed away, my house is on fire"...)
Bill Wyman was exploring a deserted beach with his metal detector when he found a very old-fashioned lamp buried beneath the sand. He rubbed the sand off it and a Genie magically appeared, as they are wont to do. The Genie thanked Bill profusely for freeing him from the lamp and granted him one wish.
That afternoon, Bill's wife returned home to find a children's sized piano on the dining table, complete with a miniature man, sitting at a tiny stool and playing blues classics.
"Bill," she called upstairs, "what the heck is this on the dining table?"
Bill replied... "Apparently that is a 12-inch pianist."
