THAT DIRTY BIRD 
  
  A woman wanted a pet to keep her company at home while her husband was 
off at work and the children were in school. After some research, she 
decided a parrot would fit her needs nicely. 
  
  It wouldn't be as much work as a dog or a cat, and it would be very 
  interesting to hear it speak, but unfortunately they were quite expensive. 
  
  One day on a shopping trip she spotted a large, beautifully colored 
parrot and asked the owner of the store for the price of the bird. The owner 
said he let it go for $50. 
  
  Delighted that such a rare and beautiful bird wasn't more expensive,she 
  agreed to buy it. Before accepting her money, the owner said, "I should 
  tell you first that this bird used to live in a whorehouse. 
  
  Sometimes it says some pretty.....well, embarrassing stuff." 
  
  The woman was so attracted to the bird and the excellent 
  price that she decided to buy it anyway. 
  
  When she got home she placed the bird's cage in her living room and 
waited patiently for it to say something. The bird studied his new 
surroundings, and his new owner, and finally said, "New house, new madam." 
  
  The woman was a little taken at the implication of what she had just 
  heard, but after a few minutes decided that it wasn't really all that 
bad. 
  
  When her two teenage daughters came in from school, the bird looked them 
  over and said, "New house, new madam, new whores!" 
  
  After their initial surprise was over, the girls joined their mother in 
  laughter. 
  
  Shortly after 5PM the woman's husband came home from work. 
  
  The bird looked at him, the mother, and the girls and said, "New house, 
  new madam, new whores, same old faces. Hi Sam!"
