all Parrot jokes are BAD jokes(as in naughty)...and all known Parrot jokes have been posted here at one time or another...

my interest is in the amazing differences in what people consider "funniest" jokes! It says a lot about you, what you laugh at.....and why people don't hone their jokes carefully instead of just reducing them to a bare outline with little attention to wording, timing, detail and relevance......folks, go listen to some old George Burns or Buddy Hackett tapes!...POLISH that humor!

Now, the talking dog joke up there ^ is well done, though it is not how I heard it....in another version, the agent listens to the dog say "bark, bark" and "roof, roof" etc, and gets VERY irate, telling the guy he is wasting time, those are "setup" lines and will fool no one!

"But," says the man," it's just a wonder the dog talks at all!"

Now this punch line is used at my house as a 'reference' line to refer to ANY situation where someone tries to fake their way thru a situation or palm off a weak solution to a problem....

(In thinking it over, I think the "what the f***ks the matter with him" may be a bit funnier...though not as subtle....)
