A few days before Christmas I went into a pet store and purchased a parrot.
Upon returning home I discovered that it was dead. Really dead. Deceased,
pushin' up daisies, shuffled off this mortal coil and singin' in the heavenly
choir dead. Oh sure... it had lovely plumage... but the plumage don't enter
into it... he was stone dead... an Ex-parrot if you will. In fact the only
reason it had remained on the perch was that it had been nailed there. Now,
when I bought it, the shop owner assured me that it's total lack of movement
was due to it's being all shagged out after a prolonged squawk. So, upon
realizing that I had been duped I returned post haste to the said pet shop.
However(comma) The owner told me that the only replacement he could offer me
was a slug (and it couldn't even talk). So I would like to ask you all to help
me recoupe my losses by e-mailing me one dollar. I normally wouldn't ask this,
but I'm sure theres a sucker or two out there.
Thank you and good day.

Great idea - maybe he could threaten to throw them all at the pet shop clerk if
he doesn't make good on the "polygon" sitch...
