Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

wall: Steven K. Scott tells the story of a man and his wife walking into a pet store, in search of a new pet. A large parrot is perched near the entrance. As they walk in, the parrot goes, "Hey buddy." The man looks up, "Yes????" This was the chance the parrot was looking for, "Your wife's ugly and you're stupid." The man's wife burst into tears. The man is enraged and hunts for the store's manager. The manager cries, "Oh no, it's not that parrot again. I'll take care of this." They watch as the manager puts on some gloves and goes over to the parrot and smacks it around. The man feels vindicated.

The was some truth with what the parrot had to say. The wife could have bathed more often and combed her hair and the man was pretty stupid to let a parrot affect his thinking.

On the way out the store, the parrot goes, "Hey buddy." The man smugly replies; thinking that he's safe from the parrot now, "Yes??????" The parrot squawks, "Arrrggh, ... you ... know."
