A man goes into a pet shop and tells the owner that he wants to buy a pet that can do everything The shop owner suggests a faithful dog The man replies Come on a dog? The owner says How about a cat? The man replies No way A cat certainly can`t do everything I want a pet that can do everything The shop owner thinks for a minute then says I`ve got it A centipede The man says A centipede? I can`t imagine a centipede doing everything but okay I`ll try a centipede He gets the centipede home and says to the centipede Clean the kitchen Thirty minutes later he walks into the kitchen and it`s immaculate All the dishes and silverware have been washed dried and put away; the counter-tops cleaned; the appliances sparkling; the floor waxed He`s absolutely amazed He says to the centipede Go clean the living room Twenty minutes later he walks into the living room The carpet has been vacuumed; the furniture cleaned and dusted; the pillows on the sofa plumped; plants watered The man thinks to himself This is the most amazing thing I`ve ever seen This really is a pet that can do everything Next he says to the centipede Run down to the corner and get me a newspaper The centipede walks out the door 10 minutes later no centipede 20 minutes later no centipede 30 minutes later no centipede By this point the man is wondering what`s going on The centipede should have been back in a couple of minutes 45 minutes later still no centipede He can`t imagine what could have happened Did the centipede run away? Did it get run over by a car? Where is that centipede? So he goes to the front door opens it and there`s the centipede sitting right outside The man says Hey I sent you down to the corner store 45 minutes ago to get me a newspaper What`s the matter? The centipede says I`m goin` I`m goin` I`m just puttin` on my shoes
