The Parrot
 
 
A woman went to a pet shop and immediately
spotted a large, beautiful parrot..
 
There was a sign on the cage that said $50.00.
 
"Why so little," she asked the pet store owner.
 
The owner looked at her and said,
"Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of
Prostitution and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff."
 
The woman thought about this, but decided
she had to have the bird any way.
 
She took it home and hung the bird's cage up
in her living room and waited for it to say something.
 
The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said,
 
"New house, new madam."
 
The woman was a bit shocked at the implication,
but then thought "that's really not so bad."
 
When her 2 teenage daughters returned from school
the bird saw and said,
 
"New house, new madam, new girls."
 
The girls and the woman were a bit offended
but then began to laugh about the situation
considering how and where the parrot had been raised.
 
Moments later, the woman's husband Keith
came home from work.
 
The bird looked at him and said,
"Hi, Keith!"

LOL, but this story is not so far from a true story which appeared about a month ago.

That is funny.

The link below beet's story, about a navy parrot having to be put ashore, is even funnier.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
