*The Talking Centipede *
*A single guy decided life would be more fun* *if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store* *and told the owner* *that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion,* *he finally bought a talking centipede,* *(100-legged bug),* *which came in a little white box* *to use for his house. He took the box back home,* *found a good spot for the box,* *and decided he would start off* *by taking his new pet* *to the bar with him. So he asked the centipede* *in the box,** "Would you like to go* *to the bar with me today?* *We will have a good time."* *But there was no answer* *from his new pet. This bothered him a bit,* *but he waited a few minutes* *and then asked again, * *"How about going* *to the bar with me* *and have a beer?"* *But again,* *there was no answer* *from his new friend and pet.* *So he waited* *a few minutes more,* *thinking about the situation. The guy decided* *to invite the centipede* *one last time. This time* *he put his face up against* *the centipede's house and shouted,* *"Hey, in there!* *Would you like to go* *to the bar * *for a beer?"* *.....* *This time,* *a little voice* *came out of the box**,* *"I heard you the first time!* *I'm putting my shoes on!"* ** ** ** **** __._,_.___mai
