The Pet Shop Parrot

A woman is walking through town when she passes a pet shop with a parrot in the window. The parrot says, “Hey lady, you’re ugly!” The woman is offended but walks on, trying to ignore it.

The next day, the woman passes the pet shop again and the parrot says, “Hey lady, you’re ugly!” The woman is now very mad, but tries to ignore it and keeps walking.

The next day, the woman passes the pet shop again and the parrot says, “Hey lady, you’re ugly!” Finally, the woman can’t take any more and runs into the pet shop, demanding that the owner do something about the parrot’s behavior. The owner apologizes and promises that he will.

The next day, the woman passes by the pet shop again. “Hey lady,” the parrot says. The woman pauses. “Yes?”

“…You know.”

Good: Saying “hello” and getting a smile in return from the lovely maid who arrives as you leave your extended-stay hotel room for a quick bite to eat. Bad: Realizing 10 minutes later that you left your wank rag and hotel lotion on the night stand. Again.
