Come upon a sea of trouble

Till the winds of change shift

So. . . did you hear the one about A man, his girlfriend, his parrot and a guy named Gary? Apparently this poor chap was getting a little worried that his pet parrot was started saying “I love you Gary”, and making smooching noises whenever the name Gary was said on TV. Well, you guessed it. . His girlfriend was having an affair with a guy named Gary. Now that had to hurt. But the worst part was that his pet parrot, which he had long before his girlfriend, would not stop saying the painful phrases! So he had to find a new home for his parrot as well. So now Chris has no parrot & no girlfriend. He sure misses the parrot.So while this was fresh in my mind JC tells me she is off to film Grey Parrots. “Oh, Really?”, What could I say but, “Have a great trip and remember, either be very good. . . or don’t take a parrot home!”. You see, friends love me for my sage advice!
