One night a womans dishwasher breaks down so she gets on the phone to the repair man and he says he will come round the next day to fix it. She explained that she will be at work but said she will leave the key under the doormat and if he left the bill on the side she will post a cheque straight to him. "the only thing is though" she explains, "don't worry about my doberman he wont bother you, but DONT under any circumstances talk to my parrot, i repeat DO NOT speak to the parrot" when the repairman arrives at the womans home the following day he finds the meanest looking dog hes ever seen but as the woman said the dog just laid there watching him go about his work. The parrot however is driving the man nuts the whole time with his incessant name calling, finally the repairman can contain himself no longer and yells " shut up you stupid ugly bird" the parrot replies "get him spike!"
