Not a Roman joke but ..........<br>
<br>
This guy was lonely and so he 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 centipede, which came in a little white box to use for his house.<br>
<br>
He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink. So he asked the centipede in the box,<br>
<br>
"Would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?"<br>
<br>
But there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again,<br>
<br>
"How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?"<br>
<br>
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face up against the centipede's house and shouting,<br>
<br>
'Hey, in there! Would you like to go to Frank's place and have a drink with me?"<br>
<br>
A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you the first time! I'm just putting my shoes on ." <p></p><i></i>
