[BITList] The Talking Centipede ..

[John Feltham]

The Talking Centipede 


A single bloke 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 talking centipede, 
which came in a little white box 
to use for his house.



He took the box back home, 
found a good spot for the box, 
and decided he would start off 
by taking his new pet 
to the pub for a drink with him.



So he asked the centipede in the box,
"Would you like to go 
down the pub with me today? 
We will have a good time."



But there was no answer  from his new pet.



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

"How about going  down the pub 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.


The bloke decided  to invite the centipede  one last time.


This time he put his face up against  the centipede's house and shouted,
"Hey, in there!  Would you like to go 
to
the pub  with me?
This time,  a little voice  came out of the box,

"I heard you the first time!

I'm putting my b……y shoes on!”
 
 
   
 
 
                   
                                                                                                                  
 
 
 
ooroo
