Never talk to the parrot
Mrs. Peterson phoned the repairman because her dishwasher
quit working. He couldn't accommodate her with an
"after-hours" appointment and since she had to go to work,
she told him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the
dish washer, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail
you a check. By the way, I have a large rotweiler inside
named Killer; he won't bother you. I also have a parrot, and
whatever you do, do not talk to the bird!"
Well, sure enough the dog, Killer, totally ignored the
repairman, but the whole time he was there, the parrot
cursed, yelled, screamed, and about drove him nuts.
As he was ready to leave, he couldn't resist saying, "You
stupid bird, why don't you shut up!"
To which the bird replied, "Killer, get him!!!" |
