This guy was lonely, and decided life would be
more fun if he had a pet.

So he went to the pet store and
told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally
bought a centipede, which came
in a little white box to use for his house.

He took the box back home,
found a good location
for the box, and decided he would start
off by taking his new pet
to the bar to have a drink.
So he asked the centipede in the box,
"Would you like to go to Frank's with
me and have a beer?"

But there was no answer from his new pet. This
bothered him a bit, but
he waited a few minutes and then
asked him again, "How about going to the
bar and having a drink with me?"

But again, there was no answer from
his new friend and pet. So he waited a
few minutes more, thinking about the
situation. He decided to ask him one
more time; this time putting his face up against
the centipede's house and shouting,

"Hey, in there! Would you like to go to Frank's
place and have a drink with me?"
A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you
the first time! I'm putting on my darn shoes."
