A Rotarian 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 talking centipede, which came in a little white box to use for his house.
He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the pub for a drink with him.
So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go down the pub with me today? We will have a good time."
But there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked again, "How about going down the pub 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 and starting to get suspicious decides if the centipede does not talk he will take it back to the shop for a refund.
Giving it one last try he puts he head close to the box and shouts "FANCY GOING TO THE PUB FOR A DRINK!!!!!"
The Centipede finally replies - "I heard you the first time you moron! I'm putting mt shoes on!"
