The Parrot

A lady walks in to a pet store and asks the salesman if he has any parrots for sale He replies that he has a very special parrot in back.

They go to the back of the store and see a beautiful bird with a string around each leg. The salesman explains that if she pulls the string on the left leg, the bird sings ``Sunshine on My Shoulder,'' and if she pulls the right string, it sings, ``Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head.''

The lady asks what happens if she pulls both strings, and the bird yells out:

``Don't! I will fall on my butt, lady!!''
