This chap lives alone and he was feeling a bit lonely, so he goes to
the pet shop to get something to keep him company. The pet shop owner
suggested an unusual pet, a talking millipede.
“OK,” thought the man,”I’ll give it a go…”
So he bought a millipede, took it home, and for lack of advance preparations, made it a
temporary home in a cardboard box.
That evening testing his new pet, he leaned over the closed box and
said, “I’m going to the pub for a drink, do you want to come too?”
He waited a few moments but there was no reply.
He tried again, “Hey, millipede, wanna come to the boozer with me???”
Again, no response.
Disgusted by his gullible nature, he decided to give it one more try
before returning the millipede to the pet shop.
So he got real close to the box and repeated rather loudly , “I SAID I’M GOING TO THE PUB
FOR A DRINK. DO YOU WANNA COME?”
“I heard you the first time ” snapped the millipede, “I’m just putting my bloody shoes on…”
