I know one with a parrot too!
***
A man goes into a petshop to buy a pet, and spots the most beautiful parrot he has ever laid eyes on, surrounded by a group of people admiring it's plummage, the shop keeper was standing between the bird, keeping the crowd away just enough for them to keep from touching it. the Price on the bird was only $68.25 dollars.
The man immediately offered $70.00 for the bird- but someone bid 80.
desperate, he made it 90, another bid 100.
he really wanted the bird, so he bid 150- but another one bet 200.
many minutes later, the man finally got the bird for $3465.75- he was overjoyed.
before he got out- he stopped, to ask the shopkeeper a question.
"The bird's great and all, but can it talk?" The man asked.
"Sure it can." replied the shopkeeper.
"How well can it talk? can it understand me?" The man asked excitedly.
The shopkeeper grinned, "Who do you think was bidding against you?"
