the new pet

[briggie]

This guy was lonely, so he decided life would be more fun if he had a pet.

So he went to the pet shop and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede which came in a little white box to use for his house.

He took it back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink.

He asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's Bar with me and have a beer?"

There was no answer from his new pet.

This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again,
"How about going to Frank's bar and having a drink with me?"

But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.
So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.

He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face up against the centipede's house and shouting,
"Hey, in there! Would you like to go to Frank's bar and have a drink with me?"

A little voice came out of the box:...........

"I heard you the first time! I'm putting my bliddy shoes on."
