| New pet
I was feeling a bit lonely, and 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 animal.
After some discussion, I finally bought a speaking centipede,
which came in a little white box to use for his house.
I took the box home, found a good location for it and decided
I'd bond with my new pet. So, I asked the centipede in the box,
'Would you like to go down to the Fox and Hounds with me and
have a beer?' There was no answer.
This bothered me, but I waited a few minutes and then asked him
again, 'How about going to the pub for a drink?' 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 Fox and Hounds 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 effing shoes!!'
