"Embarrassing Bird"
A woman wanted a pet to keep her company at
home while her husband was off at work and
the children were in school. After some research,
she decided a parrot would fit her needs nicely.
It wouldn't be as much work as a dog or a cat,
and it would be very interesting to hear it speak,
but unfortunately they were quite expensive.
One day on a shopping trip she spotted a large,
beautifully colored parrot and asked the owner
of the store for the price of the bird. The owner
said he let it go for $50. Delighted that such a
rare and beautiful bird wasn't more expensive,
she agreed to buy it.
Before accepting her money, the owner said,
"I should tell you first that this bird used to live
in a whorehouse. Sometimes it says some
pretty.....well, embarrassing stuff." The woman
was so attracted to the bird and the excellent
price that she decided to buy it anyway.
When she got home she placed the bird's cage
in her living room and waited patiently for it to say
something. The bird studied his new surroundings,
and his new owner, and finally said, "New house,
new madam." The woman was a little taken at the
implication of what she had just heard, but after a
few minutes decided that it wasn't really all that bad.
When her two teenage daughters came in from
school, the bird Looked them over and said, "New
house, new madam, new girls!"
After their initial surprise was over, the girls joined
their mother in laughter.
Shortly after 5PM the woman's husband came home
from work. The bird looked at him, the mother, and
the girls and said, "New house, new madam, new
girls, same old faces. Hi Sam!"
