At dawn the telephone rings. "Hello, Senor Humphrey? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house." <br /><br /><br />"Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?" <br /><br /><br />"Um, I am just calling to advise you, sir, that your parrot died." 
<br /><br /><br />"My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?" <br /><br /><br />"Si, that's the one." <br /><br /><br />"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?" <br /><br /><br />"From eating rotten meat." <br /><br /><br />"Rotten meat? Who the heck fed him rotten meat?" <br /><br /><br />"Nobody senor. He ate the meat of one of the dead horses." <br /><br /><br />"Dead horse? What dead horse?" <br /><br /><br />"The thoroughbred, Mr. Lucky. He died from all that work pulling the water cart." <br /><br /><br />"Are you insane? What water cart?" <br /><br /><br />"The one we used to put out the fire." <br /><br /><br />"Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?" <br /><br /><br />"The one at your house! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire." <br /><br /><br />"What the.....!!! But there's electricity at the house!!!! What was the candle for?" <br /><br /><br />"For the funeral." <br /><br /><br />"WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL?!" <br /><br /><br />"Your mother's. She showed up one night out of the blue and I thought she was a thief, so I hit her with your new Tiger Woods Nike Driver." <br /><br /><br />SILENCE.................... <br /><br /><br />"Ernesto if you broke that driver you're fired!"
