This guy walks in to a hardware store and asks the clerk for the
tiniest file the store had. When the clerk asks him what he needs
it for, the guy replies, "My parakeet has this bump on its beak, 
and I want to file it off."
  "You can't do that!" says the clerk, "You'll kill the bird!"
  "Just shut up and sell me the file." retorts the guy.
Several days later, the guy is in the hardware store and the clerk
asks, "Hey, how's your parakeet?"
  "Oh, it died." says the guy.
  "I told you you couldn't file its beak!" says the clerk.
  "Shows how much YOU know, idiot!" snaps the guy, "He died when I
put him in the vise!"


This joke is dedicated to the cowardly cretin who sent me an anonymous
fan letter (calling himself GOD, mind you!) telling me how much he liked
my jokes! (I know who you are, wp!) Just remember, I don't write 'em, I only
tell 'em for others. If you don't like 'em , let's see something better
from you (and grow up and sign you name). Your types spoil the net for the
rest of us.          

Apologies to the rest of you for the flame,
