This one is strictly for giggles. Chet the Christmas Parrot A few days before Christmas, a man enters a pet store looking for a unique gift for his wife. The manager tells him he has just what he's looking for! A beautiful parrot named Chet that sings Christmas Carols. He brings the husband over to a colorful but quiet bird. The man agrees that Chet certainly is pretty, but he doesn't seem to be much for singing. The manager tells him to watch as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lighter. The pet store manager lights the lighter and holds it under Chet's left foot. Immediately Chet starts singing; "Silent Night". The man becomes very impressed with Chet's singing abilities and watches as the manager moves the lighter underneath Chet's right foot. Chet now starts singing "Jingle Bells." The man says that Chet is perfect and that he'll take him. He rushes home to his wife, and insists upon giving her this wonderful gift immediately. He presents Chet and starts to explain his special talent. Demonstrating, he holds a lighter under Chet's left foot and the bird sings "Silent Night " again. He then moves the lighter under Chet's right foot and again Chet lets loose with a round of "Jingle Bells ." The wife is terribly impressed, and with a mischievous grin, asks her husband what happens if he holds the lighter between Chet's legs instead. Curious the husband moves the lit lighter between the bird's legs,and the bird begins to sing ------- [scroll down] [please scroll down a bit more] [Just a teensie weiney more] "Chet's Nuts Roasting On An Open Fire!"

{{{{{{Goo Goo Aholics}}}}}} Just thought I'd come out of my lurking mode.... can you lurk on this thread???..... to say I truly hope that each and every one of you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas. The group of people here are truly amazing... I still sit at my computer late at night sometimes reading and chuckling out loud at the merriment (is that a word) on this thread. I love this time of year.... for so many reasons... one of the biggest being that I think it brings out the best in so many people. I hope 2000 brings health and happiness to each of you... two of the most important things anyone can have... One day, it really would be neat to meet more folks from this thread... maybe one day, if our DGIV train ever comes in...we can still do that VEGAS thing....(yeah, I know I'm probably being silly, but if you can't dream it... it can't happen...) Again, Merry Christmas!!!! Tara (Silver__7)
