New pet

[ccavacini]

This guy was lonely and decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So

he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an

unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede, which came

in a little white box, to use for his house. He took the box back home, found a
good location for the box and decided he would start off by taking his new

pet to the bar to have a drink.

So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's with

me and have a beer?" But there was no answer from his new pet.

This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then

asked him again, "How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?"

But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.

So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.

He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his

face up against the centipede's house and shouting,

"HEY IN THERE! WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO FRANK'S PLACE 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 damn shoes."
