AND DON'T TALK TO MY PARROT!

Mrs. Davidson's dishwasher quits working so she calls a repairman.

Since she has to go to work the next day, she tells him, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you the check.

Oh, by the way, don't worry about my bulldog; he won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!"

When the repairman arrives at Mrs. Davidson's apartment the next day, he discovers the biggest and meanest bulldog he has ever seen.

But just as she said, the dog just lays there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his business.

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

Finally the repairman can't contain himself any longer and yells, "Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!" To which the parrot replies, "Get him, Spike!"
