Here's a Cryer classic.

Walking down the high street one day a woman spots a sign in the local pet shop: 'Talking parrot, only £5 (cage included)'.

Intrigued, she enters the store and asks the proprietor why it's priced so cheaply.

"Well, I must confess, it was brought up in a brothel," says the shopkeeper. "And, to put it politely, it has quite an extensive vocabulary."

"Never mind," says the woman. "At that price, I'll take it."

So she takes the parrot home, puts its cage in the living room and takes the cover off.

"New place - very nice," says the parrot.

Then the woman's two daughters walk in.

"New place, new girls - very nice," says the parrot.

Then the woman's husband walks in, and the parrot says, "Oh hello, Keith!"
