A rich old lady's birthday is coming up...
Her three sons want to impress her. They each go out in search for the perfect gift.
The first one, Frank, finds and buys a Swiss Chalet up on a mountain top. He sends her pictures and descriptions in her birthday card.
The second son, George, orders her a brand new multi million dollar Lamborghini with all the bells and whistles to be delivered on her birthday. He sends concept pictures and descriptions in her birthday card.
The third son, Jack, wants something completely unique and searches the world for the best parrot available. He find one that has a 10,000 word vocabulary in multiple languages and arranges for it to be delivered on her birthday.
They all show up on her birthday and are greeted at the door. She looks at them and shakes her head. Frank, I don't know what you were thinking. With my old bones why would I want to be on top of a mountain in the cold? And George, you are a real ass. I don't drive at my age and I'm not about to hire a driver for a two seater. But Jack, I loved your gift. That bird was delicious.
"What? You ate that parrot? He could speak 10,000 words in multiple languages..."
"Well, I guess he should have said something."
