>The Best Pet
>
>A man goes into a pet shop and tells the owner that he wants to
>buy a pet that can do everything.
>
>The owner says, "How about a dog?"
>
>The man replies, "A dog? That's so ordinary! And a dog can't do
>everything!"
>
>The owner says, "How about a cat?"
>
>The man replies, "No way! A cat certainly can't do everything. I
>want a pet that can do everything!"
>
>The owner thinks for a minute, then says, "I've got it -- a
>centipede!" The man says, "A centipede? I can't imagine a
>centipede doing everything. But, okay ... I'll try a centipede."
>
>He gets the centipede home and says to it, "Clean the kitchen."
>Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen and it's
>immaculate. All the dishes and silverware have been washed,
>polished, dried and put away. The countertops have been cleaned.
>The appliances are sparkling. The floor has been waxed.
>
>He's absolutely amazed. He says to the centipede, "Go clean the
>living room."
>
>Twenty minutes later he walks into the living room. The carpet
>has been vacuumed, the furniture clean and dusted, the pillows on
>the sofa plumped and the plants watered. The man thinks to
>himself, "This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. This is
>truly a pet that can do everything."
>
>He says to the centipede, "Run down to the corner and get me a
>newspaper." The centipede walks out the door. Ten minutes later,
>no centipede. Twenty minutes later, no centipede. Thirty minutes
>later, no centipede.
>
>The man is wondering what's going on. The centipede should have
>been back in a couple of minutes. Forty-five minutes later, still
>no centipede! The man can't imagine what happened. Did the
>centipede run away? Did it get run over by a car? Finally, he
>goes to the front door and opens it... and there's the centipede
>sitting right outside the door.
>
>The man says, "Hey! I sent you 45 minutes ago to run down to the
>corner and get me a newspaper. What's the story?"
>
>The centipede says, "I'm goin'! I'm goin'! I'm puttin' on my
>shoes!"
>
