One day a man went to an auction. While there, he bid on a parrot. He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher. Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid - the parrot was his at last!
As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the auctioneer, "I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that he can't talk!"
"Don't worry," said the auctioneer, "He can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?"
 
Same man that bought the parrot at the auction eventually got the parrot to answer to the door bell...

One day when he was out there was a knock on the door....

'Who is it?'........ squawked the parrot

'It's the plumber, I've come to fix your pipes. Will you let me in please?' ..came the reply..

'Who is it?'........ squawked the parrot

'It's the plumber, I've come to fix your pipes. Will you let me in please?' ..came the reply..

'Who is it?'........ squawked the parrot

'It's the plumber, I've come to fix your pipes. Will you let me in please?' ..came the reply..

'Who is it?'........ squawked the parrot

'It's the plumber, I've come to fix your pipes. Will you let me in please?' ..came the reply..

'Who is it?'........ squawked the parrot


So this goes on for ages and eventually the plumber collapses by the door.

Some time later the guy comes home and sees him collapsed by the door and says......

'OMG !! Who is it??'

And the parrot squawks..

'It's the plumber, I've come to fix your pipes, will you let me in please?'

:biggrin:

Random Auction Facts :

Rome was the first nation to license auctioneers

Candles were used in the 1700s at auctions to declare the winner. If you were the high bidder at the time when the candle extinguished itself, you won the auction

In the mid-1700s, auctions were commonly held in taverns. Elaborate and detailed catalogs for works of art were considered art themselves
 
Vic, I suspected but I'm too nice. Not like those sneaky Army guys - or, whoever those guys are that dress up in fancy uniforms.......................!!
BTW Vic, I've never thanked you for your service. :usflag::good: "Thank You"
