The Five Dollar Parrot

Postby wude » Oct 1, 2010 2:24 pm

A man enters a pet shop, walks around for a bit and then notices an "African Gray" parrot perched in a cage at the back of the store. A tag, which was attached to the cage, read "Parrot $5.". This puzzled the man because African Gray's are known to be highly intelligent birds.

"Hi, my name is Louie," said the parrot and then continued, "I used to belong to the famous actress Alicia Silverstone. She's a vegan, you know. I got her on the "Oprah" show to talk about the benefits of veganism. I also taught her how to feed her dogs an avocado-based vegan diet."

The man was now more puzzled than ever, so he went to see the shopkeeper behind the counter at the front of the store. The man said, "That's quite a parrot you've got there," and then asked, "How come it's only five bucks."

"Aw," replied the shopkeeper, "the bird's a liar."
"Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace." ---- Albert Schweitzer, German philosopher (1865 - 1965)
