THE PET….
July 18th, 2005
There was this guy who was lonely, and decided life
would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the
pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy
an unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally
bought a centipede, which came in a little white box
to use for his house.
He took the box back home, found a good location
for the box, and decided he would start off by taking
his new pet to the bar to have a drink.
So he asked the centipede in the box, “Would you like
to go to Frank’s with me and have a beer?”
But there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes
and then asked him again, “How about going to the
bar and having a drink with me?”
But again, there was no answer from his new friend
and pet.
So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the
situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this
time putting his face up against the centipede’s house
and shouting, “HEY, IN THERE! WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GO TO FRANK’S PLACE AND HAVE A DRINK
WITH ME?”
A little voice came out of the box: DON”T SHOUT!
“I heard you the first time!
I’m putting on my shoes.”
