An blond went into a pet shop and asked the owner if he had any parrots.

The owner replied, “Sorry, I don’t have any at the moment.”

“Damn and blast!” said the blonde, “I have been invited to a fancy dress party for the first time in my life and I want to go as a Pirate, and I have been told to be as authentic as possible, hence the need for the parrot explained the Blond.

“Well” said the owner, “if you come back here next week, specifically on Thursday, I am expecting a shipment from South America and I’ll be able to supply you with a parrot, guaranteed,”

“Damn and blast!” said the blonde, “I can’t come on that day or for some time after.”

“Why not?” Asked the owner.

“Because that is the day I’m having my leg amputated!”
