This guy was lonely, and 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
centipede, which came in a little white box to use for
its house. He took the box 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 with me and have a beer?"
But 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 the 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 place and have a drink with
me?"
A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you
the first time! I'm putting on my shoes."
