The lesson

Don't worry if the pics don't show, they're of a dog and a parrot. cut and paste doesn't usually work on pics.

Wanda's dishwasher was broken, so she called a repairman.

 

Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman,

 

"I'll leave the key under the mat.  Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check.

Oh, by the way, don't worry about my dog, Spike.  He won't bother you.

But, whatever you do, DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!"

 

               

 

 

"I MUST STRESS TO YOU: DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!"

 

 

                       

 

 

When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he had ever seen.

 

But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his work.

 

The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing, and name-calling.

 

Finally, the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, "Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!"

 

To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"

 

See?

 

Men just don't listen!
