The Parrot



Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had togo to work the next day, she told the repairman, "I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check."

"Oh, by the way don't worry about my bulldog Spike. 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 apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking bulldog 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 your mouth, you stupid ugly bird!" To which the parrot replied, "Get him, Spike!"


Moral to story:

Men just won't listen

Best Sunscreen

Ok .. so I finally got the swimming pool I've been needing to survive summers in the south, and have been in it pretty much non-stop since June. My new struggle has been keeping my pale, fair skin from turning into a leathery burnt to a crisp mess. So... in researching ways to keep myself burn free, and yet still thrashing in the water.... I have discovered the BEST way to keep one's face from getting burnt. Below is a picture of the prescribed treatment. Enjoy, and I hope this becomes part of your regimen! hehe
