Jimmy wanted a pet for company. He told the pet shop he wanted something unusual that wouldn't take much maintenance.
The owner disappeared into the back and returned with a small box containing a centipede.
Jimmy pays up and takes his new pet home.
Wanting to make a good impression, Jimmy opens the lid and says, "I'm going out to buy an ice-cream - do you want to come with me?"
There's no reply.
Jimmy puts the box down and thinks to himself, "Maybe it's just shy. I'll ask again in a minute "
So, after a bit, Jimmy asks again, "Hi there, new friend! I'd really like some ice cream, won't you join me?"
There's still no reply.
Finally Jimmy wonders if his new pet is a bit deaf, so he shouts, "HEY - YOU, ME, ICE CREAM - YUM!!!"
Then a small voice comes from the box"OK, OK, I heard you the first time, I'm putting my shoes on!!"
Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me
