The New Pet

[ROllerton]

A friend 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
(100-leggedcrawler),
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, you 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:...........




"I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my f * cking shoes."
