CHET... THE
CHRISTMAS PARROT
One day a husband decided to go to a pet
store and get his wife a bird for Christmas. He knew she loved animals, birds in
particular, and decided this would be the perfect gift for her.
He goes to the pet store and asks the
manager if he has anything special in the way of birds. The manager tells him that in fact
he does, it's a bird named Chet who sings.
The guy is very interested and asks to see
Chet. The manager brings him over to a beautiful bird and tells the husband that this is
Chet. The husband asks what is so special about him and the manager tells him that Chet
can sing, and that he'll show him.
The manager then takes a cigarette lighter
out of his pocket and lights it a few inches underneath Chet's right foot. Chet begins to
sing, "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way..."
The husband says that it was great and
asks, "Does Chet sing anything else?"
So the manager then lights his lighter
under Chet's left foot, and Chet begins to sing, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know..." The husband is very impressed, sure that his
wife will absolutely love this bird, so he buys Chet.
He brings the bird home and presents it to
his wife as a Christmas gift. She is very happy and says the bird is beautiful. The
husband tells her that the bird can sing, and he takes his lighter and lights it beneath
Chet's right foot, and Chet begins to sing, "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All
the Way..."
The wife is thrilled and asks if he can do
anything else. The husband then lights the lighter under Chet's left foot and Chet begins
to sing, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to
know..."
The wife is overwhelmed and asks,
"What would happen if you put the lighter under both of his feet at the same
time?"
The husband says that he doesn't know, but
they could try it. So the husband puts the lighter under both of the birds feet and the
bird begins to sing, "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire...."
