A man wanted to buy his son a parrot as a birthday present.
The next day he went to the pet shop and saw three identical parrots in a cage.
He asked the clerk, "how much for the parrot on the right?
The owner said it was Rs. 2500.
"Rs. 2500.", the man said. "Well what does he do?
"He knows how to use all of the functions of Microsoft Office 2000, responds the clerk.
"He can do all of your spreadsheets and type all of your letters."
The man then asked what the second parrot cost.
The clerk replied, Rs. 5000, but he not only knows Office 2000,
but is an expert computer programmer.
Finally, the man inquired about the cost of the last parrot.
The clerk replied, "Rs. 10,000."
Curious as to how a bird can cost Rs. 10,000, the man asked what this bird's specialty was.
The clerk replies, "Well to be honest I haven't seen him do anything.
But the other two call him " BOSS"!!

A barking cat - Conspiracy in the animal kingdom
The next time you hear a "dog" bark and think to yourself... "stupid noisy dog"... think again....
Apparently, the cats are now fighting a psychological war with the dogs by imitating their barks, creating fights between dogs and making humans find dogs extremely noisy and hence, annoying...
Or perhaps this is some kind of a secret agent cat, attempting to use a hacking method known as social engineering, to steal information from within the dog network.
Or worst... this cat could be conspiring with the dogs... it has learnt the dog language and has infiltrated the cat kingdom to become part of the dog world's secret agent... stealing important information to help the dog take over the cat kingdom in time to come.... Although he/she was caught passing messages to the dog, no one knows what message was passed....
We'll need to train a parrot to bark/meow soon, so the parrot can relay the information back to us in human language.... Otherwise it'll be too late for us to stop the deadly animal wars that might transpire soon....
Whatever it is, there is something fishy going on in the animal kingdom... and the cats are smelling it fast...

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not too busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.
This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news.
Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don't come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.

Dear Shannon,
I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter. I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says "I haven't seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?" you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.
