A few days before Christmas, a man enters a pet store looking
for a unique gift for his wife.
The store manager tells him he
has just what he's looking for!
A beautiful parrot named Chet
that sings Christmas carols.
He brings the husband over to a colorful but quiet bird. The man
agrees that Chet certainly is pretty, but he doesn't seem to be
much for singing.
The manager tells him to watch as he reaches into his pocket and
pulls out a lighter.
The manager then clicks the lighter and holds it under Chet's
left foot. Immediately Chet starts singing; "Silent Night, Holy
Night."
The husband is very impressed with Chet's singing abilities and
watches as the manager moves the lighter underneath Chet's right
foot. Chet now starts to sing "Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way."
The husband says Chet is perfect and that he'll take him.
The husband rushes home to his wife and insists upon giving her
this wonderful gift immediately.
He presents Chet and starts to explain the parrot's special
talent. Demonstrating, he holds a lighter under Chet's left foot
and the bird sings "Silent Night." He then moves the lighter
under the right foot and Chet lets loose a round of "Jingle
Bells."
The wife is absolutely impressed, and with a mischievous grin
asks her husband what happens if he holds the lighter between
Chet's legs instead.
Curious the husband moves the lighter between the bird's legs,
and the bird begins to sing--
"Chet's Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire!"
