The dishwasher stopped working so Wanda called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman,

"I'll leave the key under the mat. Repair the dishwasher, leave the bill on the worktop, and I'll post you a cheque. Oh, by the way don't worry about my dog Spike. He's big but he won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot! I REPEAT; DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!"

When the repairman arrived at Wanda's house the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he had ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work. The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling.  Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled,

"Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!"

To which the parrot replied, 'Get him, Spike!'

See - Men just Don't Listen!!
