Mrs. Peterson phoned the repairman because her dishwasher quit
working. He couldn't accommodate her with an "after-hours" appointment
and since she had to go to work, she told him, "I'll leave the key under the
mat. Fix the dish washer, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a
check. By the way, I have a large rottweiler inside named Killer; he won't
bother you. I also have a parrot, and whatever you do, do not talk to the
bird!"
Well, sure enough the dog, Killer, totally ignored the repairman, but the
whole time he was there, the parrot cursed, yelled, screamed, and about
drove him nuts.

As he was ready to leave, he couldn't resist saying, "You stupid bird, why
don't you shut up!"

To which the bird replied, "Killer, get him!!!"
