A pretty lonely guy 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 decided on a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for its house. He took the centipede home, found a good location for the box home, and then decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink. So he asked the centipede in the box, " would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?" But there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "how about going to the bar and having a drink with me?" But 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!"
