Pet Forum / Birds / Parrots / November 2003

Wanda's dishwasher broke down so she called a repairman. Since she had to

go to work the next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the key under

the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail

you a check. Oh, by the way, don't worry about my bulldog. He won't bother

you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my

parrot!"

"I REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"

When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he

discovered the biggest, meanest looking bulldog he had ever seen. But,

just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the

repairman go about his work. The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole

time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally, the

repairman couldn't contain himself any longer, and yelled, "Shut up, you
stupid ugly bird!"

To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"
