About Sporadic Humour

  • Sporadic started as a regular Monday morning dose of humour for work colleagues back in the mid 90's - something to assist the caffeine-hit of that first cup of coffee in lifting the dark cloud that the day after the weekend before tends to induce. Coming up with a regular weekly good quality laugh was tedious and it soon changed to "Sporadic Humour", and moved onto an email distribution list. When I started the "hitting the wire" blog, I realised a blog, with an email feed option would be a better bet. This is it.

The Parrot

A woman goes into a pet shop looking for a parrot. The assistant shows her a beautiful African Grey parrot.

"What about this one, Madam? A beautiful bird, and it's an absolute steal at only $20."

"Why is it so cheap?" the woman asks. "Well", replies the assistant, "it used to live in a brothel and as a result its language is a touch fruity". "Oh, I don't mind that", said the woman, making her mind up, "I'm broad minded and it'll be a laugh having a profane parrot". So saying, she buys the parrot and takes him home.

Once safely in his new home, the parrot looks around and squawks at the woman. "F*** me, a new brothel and a new madam".

"I'm not a madam and this is not a brothel," scolds the woman trying not to laugh.

A little later the woman's two teenage daughters arrive home.

"Un-f***ing-believable. A new brothel, a new madam, and now two new prostitutes," says the parrot when he sees the daughters.

"Mum, tell your parrot to shut up, we're not prostitutes," complain the girls, but they all see the funny side and have a laugh at their new pet.

A short while later, the woman's husband, Dave, comes home.

"In-f***ing-credible, a new brothel, a new madam, new prostitutes, but the same old client.... How you doing, Dave?"
