The Centipede

This guy was really 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 something unusual.

After some discussion he finally bought a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for his house.

He took the box home, found a good location for it, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar for a drink. So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's place with me and have a beer?"

But there was no answer.

This bothered him a bit, so he waited a few minutes and then asked again, but once more there was no answer from his new little friend.

So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask one more time. This time he put his face up against the centipede's house and shouted, "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 my damned shoes on!"
