Hey there, See, I knew you thought that I would forget, but I fooled you, didn't I. My parrot joke. Well here it is. This woman would go to
this type of general store, to buy the things she needed at home, every two weeks or so. The owner of the store had a talkative parrot, who sat on a perch in the store, keeping the store
owner company and sometimes entertaining the customers. Whenever the woman would come in and give her order to the storekeeper, he would go to the back of the store, to retrieve the things
she wanted. It never failed, when the owner went to the back, the parrot would look at the woman and say, "you're so ugly"! The woman tried not to pay attention to the parrot, but the parrot would always say the same thing to her, until finally, she decided to tell the owner. He said he didn't know if he could get the parrot to stop, but he would try, he didn't want to lose a customer. The woman came back to the store some three weeks later, went through the same procedure, the owner went to the back to get her merchandise, and while she waited, the parrot was silent. The woman thought to herself, well
this is great, he got the parrot to stop saying
the rude remark. She felt good. She paid for her order, and was walking out of the store, as she got to the door, she could not resist looking back at the parrot, she turned and looked at
the bird, he looked at her and said "you know"!
