There was a guy who went into a shop to buy a parrot. There were three parrots in the shop. One was $5,000; another one, $10,000; and the third one, $30,000.

The customer asked the owner, “How come this guy is $5,000? That’s so expensive for this kind of parrot.” The owner said, “Because I have trained him and he can talk.” So the customer asked him, “How about this guy? What can he do that makes him so expensive?”

 The owner said, “Well, apart from talking, he can also do some amusing actions, like dancing and so on. That’s why he’s so expensive.” Then the customer said, “How about the third one? What can he do that makes him so expensive?” The owner of the shop said, “I don’t know. Normally, I have never heard him talk, nor dance, nor whistle, nor sing, nothing at all! But the other two call him ‘The Boss.’”

Hi Louise,

I loved it, the humour reminds me of Monty Python,

 if you do not know who Monty Python were then look on the internet, they were a hugely popular English ( one American ) comic team that have fans all over the world.

Thank you for making me laugh on a day at work with few laughs around !!
