Subject: Buying a Parott
>> A man buys a parrot, but after several weeks of trying, is unable
>>to get it to speak a single word. In desperation he takes the
>>bird to a vet for advice.
>>
>>The vet tells him that the parrot's beak is too long which is
>>preventing him from speaking. He says that he can file it down
>>for $100.
>>
>>The parrot's owner thought that was rather expensive and wondered
>>aloud if he could just file it down himself.
>>
>>The vet tells him that it is a very delicate procedure and must
>>be done by a trained professional. If he does not file enough,
>>the bird still wont be able to talk, but if he files too much,
>>the bird will drown while drinking his water.
>>
>>The man decides to think it over and leaves with the parrot.
>>
>>Several weeks later, the vet happens to meet the parrot owner who
>>is looking rather down. He inquires about the parrot and the man
>>replies that his parrot is dead.
>>
>>"Did you try to file his beak down yourself?" asked the vet.
>>
>>The man nods his head.
>>
>>"And he drowned while trying to drink his water, right?"
>>
>>"No," replied the parrot's owner, "he was dead when I took his
>>head out of the vise."
