Dead Parrot

Dead Parrot

At dawn the telephone rings, "Hello, Senor Rod? This is Ernesto, the
caretaker at your country house."

"Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?"

"Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor Rod, that your parrot, he is
dead".

"My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?"

"Si, Senor, that's the one."

"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird... What did he
die from?"

"From eating the rotten meat, Senor Rod..."

"Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?"

"Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse."

"Dead horse? What dead horse?"

"The thoroughbred, Senor Rod.."

"My prize thoroughbred is dead?"

"Si, Senor Rod, he died from all that work pulling the water cart."

"Are you insane? What water cart?"

"The one we used to put out the fire, Senor."

"Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"

"The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught on
fire."

"What the hell? Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of a
candle?!"

"Si, Senor Rod."

"But there's electricity at the house! What was the candle for?"

"For the funeral, Senor Rod."

"WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL?"

"Your wife's, Senor Rod". She showed up very late one night and I thought she
was a thief, so I hit her with your new Ping G15 204g titanium head golf with
the TFC 149D graphite shaft."

SILENCE...........LONG SILENCE.........VERY LONG SILENCE.

"Ernesto, if you broke that driver, you're in so much trouble!"

Funny, and a true story to boot.
Happened to me!

Great joke. Tried to find it again today to tell my son but "parrot" in the search bar didn't work. Then I tried "bird, wife, golf club" to no avail.

"Si Senor" is what found it for me.
