A Lad Was Tired Of The Farm Life

A young lad was tired of the farm life; so off he went and

joined the Navy. His first cruise took him to the south

pacific, whereupon stopping at some island he found himself

a parrot, He took it back to the ship with him, and kept it

aboard ship. After 20+ years he retired from the Navy, so of

him and his parrot went. Back to farmland. He decided he

should get himself a chicken farm and sell young chickens

and eggs. This he did, lo and behold the first morning at 6

o’clock, the parrot commenced yelling, “six bells hit

the deck”, “six bells hit the deck” Well the old

sailor was quite angry, and told the parrot I can’t have

any of this, I’ am retired and don’t have to get up that

early any more, So from now on you sleep out with the

chickens. The next morning at 6 o’clock he woke up hearing

this big noise coming from the chicken house, He goes out

there, looks in the window and sees the parrot holding a red

chicken around the neck with one wing and slapping him from

left to right with his other wing, saying “When I say

dress whites I mean dress whites”
