jokes-1 PURCHASING A NEW BIRD

 

After many years of
marriage, a husband has turned into a couch potato, became completely
inattentive to his wife and sat guzzling beer and watching TV all day. The wife
was dismayed because no matter what she did to attract the husband's attention,
he'd just shrug her off with some bored comment.
This went on for many
months and the wife was going crazy with boredom. Then one day at a pet store,
the wife saw this big, ugly, snorting bird with a hairy chest, powerful hairy
forearms, beady eyes and dribble running down the side of its mouth.
The
shopkeeper, observing her fascination with the bird, told her it was a special
imported "Goony bird" and it had a very peculiar trait. To demonstrate, he
exclaimed, "Goony bird! The table!"
Immediately, the Goony bird flew off
its perch and with single-minded fury attacked the table and smashed it into a
hundred little pieces with its powerful forearms and claws! To demonstrate some
more, the shopkeeper said, "Goony bird! The shelf!"
Again the Goony bird
turned to the shelf and demolished it in seconds.
"Wow!" said the wife,
"If this doesn't attract my husband's attention, nothing will!" So she bought
the bird and took it home.
When she entered the house, the husband was,
as usual, sprawled on the sofa guzzling beer and watching the game. "Honey!" she
exclaimed, "I've got a surprise for you! A Goony bird!"
The husband, in
his usual bored tone replied, "Goony Bird, my foot!"
