| A guy is out Christmas shopping when he passes a pet store with an ad on the window stating, "Come see this Christmas parrot, Chet chat! It`s the most amazing bird in the world. A bargain at $1500!" The guy can’t believe the price and goes in just to see what a $1500 parrot looks like. "What makes this bird so expensive?" he asks the shop owner. “Chet sings Christmas Carols. Here, I’ll show you," responds the owner. The owner strikes a match and holds it under the parrot`s left foot. The bird flinches and bursts into song, "Silent Night, Holy Night..." "Wow, that`s truly amazing," said the shopper. "Does it sing any other songs?" The shopkeeper grinned and lit a second match and held it under the parrot`s right foot. After a brief squawk, the parrot begins to sing, "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..." "Well, I thought I’d seen everything," said the shopper. "My wife will just go nuts over this. I’ll take it.” When he got home, the guy shows the parrot to his wife and says, "Honey, you’ve got to see this.” He takes out a box of matches and repeats the demonstration of the pet shop. His spouse is very impressed, but not completely satisfied. "What does it sing if you hold a match between both it`s legs," she asked. The guy did as he was asked; the bird`squawked a loud protest and began to sing, "Chet’s nuts roasting on an open fire..." |
