For work reasons this joke comes to my mind periodically.<br>
<br>
A very lonely fellow decides to buy a talking parrot.<br>
He goes to the largest pet shop in town and asks the clerk to see the selection of parrots.<br>
<br>
- How much is this one?<br>
- $100 sir!<br>
- Hmm (not cheap). What does he do?<br>
- Speaks fluent english sir! Nice British accent! The one over there speak English as well but with New York accent. He comes at only $75.<br>
- And what about this other one?<br>
- $200 sir! Speaks English and excellent German as too!<br>
- And this other one?<br>
- $500 sir! Four languages: Standard English and three romance languages: exquiste French, beautiful Italian and lively Spanish. Actually he is quite good in Portuguese too!<br>
- WOW!!!! Hmmm.... Hey what about that parrot up their in the top cage?<br>
- Sir, you have a good eye for birds! He is quite special and comes at $2000. A real deal!<br>
- 2000?? Boy! and what languages does he speak?<br>
- ... well sir, to be honest I never heard a word from him. But...<br>
<br>
...the others call him PROFESSOR.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hee hee<br>
