" The Perch"

Alright, who put the grease on my perch, was what the Parrot wanted to know. Every time she tried to set on it, she couldn’t get a grip on the bar she used to set on, she would either fall forward or backwards and be hanging up-side down.  Then she would cry out, dizzy bird, dizzy bird, will someone help the dizzy bird ?   Did you know that a bird hanging up-side down can not be understood, You have to turn the words over in your mind, but you never know that you are doing it. Just thought you might want to know. 

Did you know that a Parrot in a cage will only speak the words that he sees on the news paper that is on the bottom of the cage. But then we all know that a parrot can not read. Doesn’t that seem kind of strange to you ? 

Fish do not swim backwards, they have no eyes to see where the are going, but they could see where they are coming from. I learned this stuff at a California Barber college. Mom and Dad both attended college there. My brother Sam, couldn’t pass the entrance exam there, so he had to go to Oxford. Harvard or Yale, he had a choice. 

Yes, it is great to have a college degree, I really don’t see how people with a high school education can manage in this country. They have to use a short version of double talk to answer a tricky question and have a lawyer fill out their income tax forms.  No matter what you have heard, Pigeon mail was not used by the cave men. A US Mule walked the ridge in the southern states. E-mail was invented by some Senator in Washington DC. 

General Custer used a short wave on his hair and Dolly was the first to melt an Ice Berg for drinking water. Boy! I’ll bet you are sorry that you never attended college in California. 

Sorry, but we can’t all be rich, but don’t give up, keep on trying.
