A pretty lonely guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet.
So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he decided on a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for its house.
He
took the centipede home, found a good location for the box home, and
then decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to
have a drink.
So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?"
But there was no answer from his new pet.
This
bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him
again, "How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?"
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.
So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
He
decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face up against
the centipede's house and shouting, "Hey, in there! Would you like to
go to Frank's Place and have a drink with me"
A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes!!"
