 Okay, I've been threatened about posting this, but I don't care, if you
take revenge, just use the chicken....AAAAAAAyyyyyyyiiiiiieeeeeee

Once upon a time, there lived an old couple.  All their children had
grown up and moved away, and they were lonely.  They had always liked
animals, so they decided to buy a pet, but they didn't want one that
would make a mess or be hard to look after.

So, they went down to the pet store and asked the clerk what he would suggest.
"I suggest a Rary," said the clerk," they're cute and cuddly and
what's more, they talk!"

Well, the couple were delighted by this little critter. It was unbelievably
cute (and you though Smurfs were the last thing in cuteness) and cuddly
(it even beat out the Tribbles in cuddly contests).  They fell in love
with the Rary.  The only problem was that it never talked.  They
couldn't figure out why the pet store clerk would lie about that, but
since they loved the Rary so much, they never bothered to follow up on
the problem.

One consequence of their love is that they gave the Rary anything it wanted.
However, since it wasn't talking, the only thing they thought it wanted
was food.  Sure enough, after a few years had passed the couple had one
BIG Rary on their hands.  They tried to put it on a diet, but it just
looked so sad that they always relented and gave it more food.  Finally,
they just couldn't afford to feed it anymore, so they reluctantly
decided to "put it to sleep".  Of course, the Rary wouldn't quite fit
down the toilet, so the old man went out and rented a dump truck (I told
you it was big).  They then proceeded to load the Rary into the back of
the dump truck and drove off to a big cliff.  With much sorrow they
decided to dump it off the cliff.

As the Rary fell off the cliff, much to the shock of the old couple, it
finally spoke:

It said:  "It's a long way to tip a Rary"
