It's been one of them weeks, lots of doom and gloom and arguements. So to cheer us up:
A man walks into a pet shop and explains that he wants to buy a nightingale because he has heard that they have the most beautiful song in the world. "I'm sorry sir" says the pet shop owner. "it's actually illegal to own and sell nightingales, but did you know that if you take a canary and drill two small holes at the top of its beak it will sing just like one? I can sell you a canary at a good price and tell you exaclty where to drill the holes. It has to be done precisly though, or there is a danger the bird will drown when it takes a drink."
The guy is highly sceptical and suspects that the owner is slightly insane. So he backs out of the shop and leaves.
A while later he goes to another pet shop and repeats his request for a nightingale. The pet shop owner gives hin exactly the same information. The man is suprised but figures there may be something to the idea. He buys the canary and the pet shop owner gives him a diagram showing the precise spots for the holes to be drilled.
The man goes to a tool shop and explains he wants a very fine drill bit. The owner asks what for. And sheepishly the guy explains about the canary and drilling the holes.
"No problem sir, I have the very drill bit. But take care if the holes aren't in the precise place the bird will drown the first time it takes a drink."
A few days later the man is back in the pet shop wanting to buy another canary. "What happened" asks the owner, "Did you get the holes in the wrong spot?"
"I don't know," says the man, "the thing was already dead when I took it out of the vise."
:laugh: Cindy

Talking of laughter, my gf always laughs during sex.
It must be the book she's reading.

Oh no need to apologise - if typical guy humour is self-deprecating, then that's just fine with me :)
