A couple purchased a talking parrot on their honeymoon, much to the groom's annoyance, since the bird did a running commentary on their lovemaking. The groom finally threw a towel over the cage and threatened to give the parrot to the zoo if it didn't quit. The next morning, packing to return home, the newlyweds couldn't close a large suitcase. "Honey," the groom said, "you get on top and I'll try." That didn't work. Figuring they needed more weight on the lid, she said, "Sweetheart, you get on top and I'll try." Still no success. Then the man said, "Let's both get on top and try." At that point, the parrot yanked away the towel and said, "Zoo or no zoo, this I've got to see!" |
