~New Pet~ (Plus: Today in history, Word for the day, Today’s horoscope, Maxine and Herman)

There was a man who was lonely, and decided life
would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.

After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink.

Would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?"
He asked the centipede in the box, There was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit. He waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?"

Again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face up against the centipede's house and shouting, "HEY,
IN THERE! WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO FRANK'S PLACE AND HAVE A DRINK WITH ME?"

A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you
the first time! I'm putting on my shoes."
