"A Christmas Parrot"
A few days before Christmas, a man enters a
pet store looking for a unique gift for his wife.
The store manager tells him he has just what
he's looking for! A beautiful parrot named Chet
that sings Christmas carols.
He brings the husband over to a colorful but
quiet bird. The man agrees that Chet certainly
is pretty, but he doesn't seem to be much for
singing.
The manager tells him to watch as he reaches
into his pocket and pulls out a lighter. The
manager then clicks the lighter and holds it
under Chet's left foot. Immediately Chet starts
singing; "Silent Night, Holy Night."
The husband is very impressed with Chet's
singing abilities and watches as the manager
moves the lighter underneath Chet's right foot.
Chet now starts to sing "Jingle Bells, Jingle
All the Way." The husband says Chet is perfect
and that he'll take him.
The husband rushes home to his wife and insists
upon giving her this wonderful gift immediately.
He presents Chet and starts to explain the
parrot's special talent. Demonstrating, he holds
a lighter under Chet's left foot and the bird sings
"Silent Night." He then moves the lighter under
the right foot and Chet lets loose a round of
"Jingle Bells."
The wife is absolutely impressed, and with a
mischievous grin asks her husband what
happens if he holds the lighter between Chet's
legs instead.
Curious the husband moves the lighter between
the bird's legs, and the bird begins to sing--
"Chet's Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire!"
