Friday's Joke

After deciding that life would be more fun if I had a pet, I went to the pet shop and told the owner that I wanted to buy something unusual.

After some discussion and persuasion, I finally bought a centipede - which came in a little white box to use for his house.
I took the box back home, found a good location for it.

I decided that I would start off by taking my new pet to the pub to have a drink. So I asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to the Beer Cellar with me for a drink?"

But there was no answer.

This bothered me a bit, but I waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about popping out for a quiet pint?" But again, there was no answer from my new pal.

So, I waited a few minutes more. Thinking about the situatio, I decided to ask him one more time. this time putting my face up against the centipede's house and shouting, "Hey, in there! Do you fancy a cheeky Stella?”

And then a little voice came out of the box, “I heard you the first time - I'm just putting my f***ing shoes on!"
