A person walks into a pet shop and says, “Can I buy a talking centipede?” The shopkeeper says, “Odd request, but yes.” He hands over a tiny box with a tiny centipede inside. At home, the person says, “Hey centipede, want to go to the pub?” No answer. He asks again, louder: “HEY! Want to go to the pub?” Still nothing. Annoyed, he shouts, “ARE YOU DEAF?! I ASKED IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE PUB!” A tiny voice comes from the box: “Relax. I heard you the first time. I’m putting on my shoes.” #strangejoke #joke
