The Canary

 

So, Atilla the wife and I owned a canary.  It sat on a perch in a cage.  It was well taken care of, with people talking to it all the time.

 

My contribution was:  whenever I came near the bird, I would point above its head at the wall and say "SPIDER".  After about 6 months, all I had to do was say "SPIDER" and the canary would look over its head.

 

One day, I walked up to the canary and said "SPIDER", the bird looked over its wing at the wall, and I noticed that Atilla the wife also looked up to the wall automatically.

 

Conducting more experiments, all the kids were breaking their necks to look at the wall, whenever I said "SPIDER".

 

I realized that they didn't notice that they were doing what the bird was doing.  When I confronted them, they all denied it.

 

So I set up a video camera, and sure enough, the video proved they were well trained.

I raised canaries for a while. The thing that struck me was the male canary was always canoodling the female and singing at the top of his lungs.

There's a difference between a male canary singing and a male canary ... .
