It's barely dawn and the telephone rings: 'Hello, Senor Rod? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house.'
'Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?'
'Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor Rod, that your parrot, he is dead'
'My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?'
'Si, Senor, that's the one.'
'Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?'
'From eating the rotten meat, Senor Rod.'
'Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?'
'Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse.'
'Dead horse? What dead horse?'
'The thoroughbred, Senor Rod.'
'My prize thoroughbred is dead?'
'Yes Senor Rod, he died from all that work pulling the water cart.'
'Are you insane?? What water cart?'
'The one we used to put out the fire, Senor.'
'Good Lord!! What fire are you talking about, man?'
'The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire.'
'What the hell?? Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of a candle?'
'Yes, Senor Rod.'
'But there's electricity at the house! What was the candle for?'
'For the funeral, Senor Rod.'
'WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL?'
'Your wife's, Senor Rod', she showed up very late one night and I thought she was a thief, so I hit her with your new Taylormade Super Quad 460 golf club.'
SILENCE . . . . . . . . . . .
LONG SILENCE . . . . . . . . . .
'Ernesto, if you broke that driver, you're in deep s**t!'
LOL...Nice!
He's not dead, he's just pining for the Golfo de California.
To be shared with The Four Golfers of the Apocolypse at the Italian American Citizens Club this evening at 6:15.
Oddly, Amazon.com is dead right now, too. I’ve never seen it happen before.
I knew I should have stopped reading at the home page.
chuckle
I didn’t read the whole joke.
He didn’t kill Amazon.com, too, did he?
LOL.....thanks for the laugh
How to deliver bad news....
I bet the driver is badly damaged, too.
Shoot! You just had to post it and I was going to send it out in email tomorrow, lol!!
Shows how fast email goes around and how most of us probably get much of the same things!

LOL!
