\u00a0Desmond Kelly. (Mr.Music)<\/span>
\n(Editor-in-Chief)…. e’Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wanda’s dishwasher was broken, so she called in a repairman.\u00a0<\/span>
\nSince she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman,\u00a0<\/span>
\n‘I’ll leave the key under the mat.\u00a0<\/span>
\nFix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you a check\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, by the way don’t worry about my dog Spike.\u00a0 He won’t bother you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dog\"<\/span><\/p>\n

But, whatever you do,\u00a0do NOT<\/u><\/i>, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Parrot\"<\/span><\/p>\n

I MUST STRESS TO YOU:\u00a0
\nDO<\/u>\u00a0NOT<\/u>\u00a0TALK\u00a0<\/i>TO MY PARROT!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

When the repairman arrived at Wanda’s apartment, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself\u00a0<\/span>
\nany longer and yelled,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Shut up, you stupid, frickin ugly bird!’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To which the parrot replied, ‘Get him Spike!’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

See – Men just don’t listen!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
