The Centipede

The Centipede



�




�



�




A single guy 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,




(100-legged bug),




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 church with him.



�




�



�




So he asked the centipede in the box

"Would you like to go




to church 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




to church with me




and receive blessings?"



�




�



�




But again,




there was no answer




from his new friend and pet.




So he waited




a few minutes more,




thinking about the situation.



�




�



�




The guy decided




to invite the centipede




one last time.



�




�



�




This time he




put his face up against




the centipede's house and shouted,



�




"Hey, in there!




Would you like to go �




to




church with me �




and learn about God?"



�




.....



�























YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS ......



�




�



�




This time, �




a little voice




came out of the box ,



�







"I heard you the first time!




I'm putting my shoes on!"

Thats a very old joke. I heard that one when I was still at school.

[retrocop]

Wow. Impressive. A memory that goes back nearly 100 years!! :-)

[Georgiesmum]

Im not 100 years old yet, but I do remember being told this when I was at senior school, like the one
What did the earwig say when he fell of the table?
Ear-wiggo.

[Shaglene]

What goes 99 thump? A centipede with a wooden leg.

It's a good job that it was a trendy centipede imagine if it wore socks too!

[-Talbot-]

Some of the joke made no sense at all though...




"Would you like to go




to church with me today?




We will have a good time."



eh...?

(what a feking annoying thread to return to)

[zabado]

I'm with "you" all the way -Talbot-. ^ . . Bye! . . . for now.

Talbot
I do apologise to all.
Having read through a lot of mind numbing guff from our resident Cut and paste boremonger on the News section I find this style of posting a short joke quite similar. It must be contagious. :-(

My mouse had to put its trainers on to run between the lines.
