A tv repairman is working in a lady's house, she has a huge dog as a pet, plus a parrot. She assures him that the dog is perfectly safe and won't harm him at all, but asks him not to talk to the parrot.
As she says, the dog just lays there watching him as he works, the parrot however continually swears and curses at the repairman, and after an hour of this, he's had enough and shouts at it 'For Gawd's sake, shut up, you bl**dy ugly bundle of feathers!'
The parrot looks at him coldly and shouts 'get him, Spike!'
See....men just don't listen!!
