Right beside the entrance to the pet store sat a talking parrot.

The doorbell rang, when a very elegant elderly lady with a poodle entered the shop.

The parrot inclined its head.
"Hey, you!", it snarled, "you are ugly."

The lady was enraged. The owner gave her the expensive dog food "on the house", to calm her.

Two weeks later the scene repeated itself.

The owner told the parrot: "One more time and you're done for".

Four weeks later the lady returned.
The parrot eyed her.
"Hey, you ... "

Silence. No one dared breathing.

The parrot continued: "You know."
