Mrs. Broomfield's dishwasher broke down, so she called her repairman. He couldn't accommodate her with an evening appointment and, since she had to go to work the next day, she told him: "I'll leave the key under the door mat. Fix the dishwasher please& leave the bill on the the kitchen top. By the way, don't worry about my Rottweiler. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do not under any circumstances talk to the parrot!" When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Broomfield's house the next day, he faced the biggest and meanest looking Rottweiler he had ever seen. But, just like she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet, watching him go about his business. The whole time he was there, the parrot drove him virtually insane with his incessant squawking and talking. Finally the he couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled: "Shut up, you stupid bird!" The parrot replied: "Get him, Brutus! Regards, Mikey. Spectemur Agendo.
