"Parrot Chet"
A man is walking down a darkened street on Christmas
Eve, in a mad search for his wife's Christmas present.
He stumbles upon the only open store, a pet shop. The
man walks in and announces his need for a Christmas
present, and the store owner leads him over to a parrot
sitting in the corner with a name tag that says "Chet."
The owner lights a match, tells the man to listen carefully,
and holds the match under the parrot's left foot. The
parrot begins to sing "Jingle Bells" softly, and the man's
eyes light up. The store owner does the same to the
parrot's right foot, and the parrot sings "White Christmas."
The man says, "I'll take it!"
The next morning, Christmas morning, the man reveals
Chet to his wife and she is pleasantly surprised. "Wait
a minute, that's not all," the man says. "Watch what
Chet can do." He demonstrates the parrots singing skills
with a lit match, and his wife is enchanted.
But his wife is curious...she asks offhandedly, "What
does he do when you put the lit match under his tail?"
The man shrugs his shoulders, lights another match,
and holds it under Chet's tail. Chet pipes up signing,
"Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire!"
