A few days before Christmas, a man enters a pet store looking
for an unusual gift for his wife. The store manager tells him he
has just what he's looking for! A beautiful parrot named Chet that
sings Christmas carols.
He brings the husband over to a colorful but quiet bird. The man
agrees that Chet certainly is pretty, but he doesn't seem to be
much of a singer. The manager tells him to watch as he reaches into
his pocket and pulls out a cigarette lighter. The manager then
clicks the lighter and holds it under Chet's left foot. Immediately
Chet starts singing; "Silent Night, Holy Night."
The husband is very impressed with Chet's singing abilities and
watches as the manager moves the lighter underneath Chet's right
foot. Chet now starts to sing "Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way."
The husband says Chet is perfect and that he'll take him.
The husband rushes home to his wife and insists upon giving her
this wonderful gift immediately. He presents Chet to her and starts
to explain the parrot's special talent.
Demonstrating, he holds a lighter under Chet's left foot and the
bird sings "Silent Night." He then moves the lighter under the
right foot and Chet lets loose a round of "Jingle Bells." The wife
is absolutely amazed, and with a mischievous grin asks her husband
what happens if he holds the lighter between Chet's legs instead.
With his curiosity aroused, the husband relocates the lighter as
his wife suggested and the bird begins to sing - Chet's nuts
Roasting on an Open Fire!
