And another......
I'm feeling a bit lonely at the moment and so I decided life would be
more fun if I had a pet. So, I went to the pet shop and told the owner
that I wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, I finally
bought a Centipede which came in a little white box to use for his
house.
I took the box back home, found a good location for it, and decided I
would start off by taking my new pet to the pub to have a drink.
So, I asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go down the
Queen's Head with me and have a beer?" But there was no answer.
This bothered me a bit, but I waited a few minutes and then asked
him again, "How about going to the pub for a drink?"
But again, there was no answer from my new friend and pet.
So, I waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. I
decided to ask him one more time; this time putting my face up against
the centipede's house and shouting, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to
The Queen's Head and have a drink with me?"
A little voice came out of the
box:...........................................
I heard you the first time! I'm putting my bl**dy shoes on."
