PET STORE ADVICE
This guy wanted a parrot who talked. He asked the pet store manager if there was a bird who was already speaking.
The manager directed the guy to a bird by the window. “This bird has a vocabulary of 1000 words and another 50 phrases that would fit most occasions.”The guy bought the bird and took it home. Next day, the guy was back in the pet store to complain. The bird hadn’t said a word.

The pet store manager said, “That’s not unusual. Why not buy a few of the toys the bird had been used to playing with while here and put it in his cage. That should get him more comfortable with his surroundings and loosen him up.” The man paid for the toys and took them home to the bird.
Two days later the guy showed back up. “Still not talking, huh?” asked the manager. “Well, perhaps a birdbath would do the trick.” The credit card was whipped out, the purchase made, and the guy was back home with his new birdbath.
