My wife wants a talking parrot for Christmas. I can't afford one so I'm getting the next best thing, a woodpecker that knows Morse code.
not a joke, but I remember reading an entry in Exchange and Mart back in the day.
"Wanted: talking parrot. Good price paid or exchange for pair of breeding pythons".
It looked like some ridiculous coded message like in that Alistair Sim comedy, but who knows? Stuck in my mind as the most curious advert I'd ever seen
