The parrot

[ejean9]

A woman went to a pet shop & immediately
spotted a large, beautiful parrot..
There was a sign on the cage that said $50.00.

"Why so little," she asked the pet store owner.

The owner looked at her and said,
"Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of Prostitution
and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff."

The woman thought about this, but decided
she had to have the bird any way.

She took it home and hung the bird's cage up
in her living room and waited for it to say something.

The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said,

"New house, new madam."

The woman was a bit shocked at the implication,
but then thought "that's really not so bad."

When her 2 teenage daughters returned from school
the bird saw and said,
"New house, new madam, new girls."

The girls and the woman were a bit offended
but then began to laugh about the situation
considering how and where the parrot had been raised.

Moments later, the woman's husband Keith
came home from work.

The bird looked at him and said,

"Hi, Keith!"

I visited an open air museum a while back.

It had lots of buildings, hundreds of years old.

When we got to one of the bedrooms, the woman showing us round showed us the straw/hay mattresses which were tightly put together to keep the bugs away....apparently the bugs only stick around in loose straw/hay.

This is where we get the saying

"Sleep tight...."

BTW...being a total townie...I can't remember what the mattresses were actually made of...think it was hay...it was quite a few years ago and the last time I saw hay close up was when we kept rabbits

Now I have that song " grandma's Feather Bed" going round in my head.

Don't ask me why though lol
