A man walks into a pet store...

A man walks into a pet store. He asks the man for a very special pet. He doesn't want a cat or a dog or anything boring like a bird, but instead wants something exotic. The manager of the store says "I have exactly the pet for you". He takes the man to the back room and shows him a shoebox. The man looks inside and sees a centipede. "I don't want just a boring old centipede" said the man, "I want something really cool." The manager assures the man that this centipede is no ordinary centipede. "It's a talking centipede!" With little hesitation, the man soon bought it and brought it home without even checking whether the man was lying.
Once home the man took the lid off of the centipedes box and asked "say centipede, want to go to the pub and get a beer?" The centipede said nothing, So the man put the lid back on and walked away. Two minutes later, the man walked over to the centipede's box again. He took the lid off and asked "say centipede want to go to the pub and get a beer?" Again, no reply. The man was starting to think he had been ripped off. But he decided to try again. He took the lid off one last time and asked "say centipede, want to go to the pub and get a beer?" At long last the centipede looked up and said "I heard you the first time, moron. I'm getting my shoes on."
