A guy goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot.
"We haven't got any", says the owner, "But I have a centipede that can talk.
So he buys the centipede and takes it home. "Fancy popping out for a pint"?, he asks the centipede a little later.
No reply.
So he leaves it an hour and repeats the question.
No reply.
He's fed up now thinking he's been ripped off, he decides to wait an hour and give it one more try and then take it back if it didn't respond. "Fancy a pint"? he asks again.
The centipede replies, "I'm not deaf, I heard you the first time. I'm putting my shoes on".
