A honeymooning couple had purchased a talking parrot and taken it to their room,
where much to the groom’s annoyance, the bird kept up a running commentary on
their love making. Finally the groom threw a large towel over the cage and threatened
to give the parrot to the zoo if he didn’t quit it. The next morning, packing to return
home, the couple couldn’t close a large suitcase. The groom said, “Darling, you get on
top and I’ll try.” That didn’t work. Figuring they needed more weight on the lid, she
said, “Sweetheart, you get on top and I’ll try.” Still no success. So, he said, “Look. Let’s
both get on top.” At that point the parrot pulled away the towel with his beak and
said: “Zoo or no zoo. I just gotta see this.”
