    Pet Shop

    A customer enters a pet shop.
    Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
    (The owner does not respond.)
    C: 'Ello, Miss?
    Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
    C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a
    complaint!
    O: We're closin' for lunch.
    C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about
    this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from
    this very boutique.
    O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian
    Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
    C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's
    dead, that's what's wrong with it!
    O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
    C: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one,
    and I'm looking at one right now.
    O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable
    bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful
    plumage!
    C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
    O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
    C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
    (shouting at the cage)
    'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh
    cuttle fish for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)
    O: There, he moved!
    C: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
    O: I never!!
    C: Yes, you did!
    O: I never, never did anything...
    C: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO
    POLLY!!!!!
    Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine
    o'clock alarm call!
    (Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on
    the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it
    plummet to the floor.)
    C: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
    O: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
    C: STUNNED?!?
    O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up!
    Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
    C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad
    enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and
    when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured
    me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein'
    tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
    O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the
    fjords.
    C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is
    that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the
    moment I got 'im home?
    O: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back!
    Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
    C: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot
    when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason
    that it had been sitting on its perch in the first
    place was that it had been NAILED there.
    (pause)
    O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't
    nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to
    those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM!
    Feeweeweewee!
    C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put
    four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
    O: No no! 'E's pining!
    C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no
    more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to
    meet 'is maker!
    'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you
    hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the
    daisies!
    'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the
    twig!
    'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal
    coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin'
    choir invisibile!!
    THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
    (pause)
    O: Well, I'd better replace it, then.
    (he takes a quick peek behind the counter)
    O: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the
    shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
    C: I see. I see, I get the picture.
    O: I got a slug.
    (pause)
    C: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it talk?
    O: Not really...
    C: Well, it's hardly a bloody replacement, is it?!?!
    O: Do you want to come back to my place?
