The parrot in the clinic!

This lady has a turtle, and the turtle dies. She's heartbroken. She brings the dead turtle in to the vet's office. "Doctor, doctor, what's wrong with my turtle?" Vet examines. "Lady, your turtle's dead." "Oh, I just can't believe that! I need a second opinion." So the vet goes to the back room and comes out followed by a Labrador Retriever. Dog goes over, sniffs the turtle, turns and walks back out. "Lady, your turtle's dead," says the vet. "Oh no!! It just can't be true! Can I have one more opinion?" So the vet goes to the back room and comes out followed by a big tom cat. Cat goes over, sniffs the turtle, turns around and lumbers on out. "Lady," says the vet, "your turtle's dead. You've just gotta accept it." "Oh, OK. Breaks my heart but you must be right. Now what do I owe you?" "$452," says the vet.

"$452?? Why so much?" "Well, my bill is only $52. The other $400 is for the lab tests and the cat scan."

This patient's husband was just full of well-delivered little jokes for the nurses. Very refreshing to find, and offered freely without being intrusive.

Ok, this one is a true story:

A friend that I have in NY has a neighbor that has a parrot. His apartment is has a window on the busy side of a street, and guess what his parrot can immitate?

Car alarms, various types, police sirens, ambulance, the 'honk' of various horns including the fire truck, knocking of the door, and the occasional, "Hey, get the F**k outta my way!".

Now, just when you think it couldn't get any crazier...a few weeks ago the Parrot learned a new sound...one he has been hearing alot in the apartment.

The Parrot's owner has a bed, that let's say, is very squeeky, and a girlfriend he has been seeing for a year....I think further explanation is unnecessary :blushkiss
