Bad mouth bird
My client today had some very nice Gregorian chants type music playing as I entered his home. When I sat down I heard some funny talking in the other room and asked him if it was a bird. He explained to me that it was an African Grey and how it had a huge vocabulary, repeating almost everything he said. A few minutes later, I heard "son of a b--ch" from the other room and bit my lip to keep from laughing, then it started cussing up a storm, "oh sh-t", "oh sh-t" and I couldn't help but laugh. It was pretty funny, I hope he wasn't too embarrased.

Could you send he the name of that client? I've got an African Grey and have been trying to get him to cuss! (I want him to answer the phone when deadbeat SS call.) but no luck so far. He just says: "hello, I love you, cork nut (almond), good boy", and similar stuff.

Bad Birds: A favorite family I've signed a number of times
has a managerie, not the least of which is Joey, a big, green parrot.
During our first signing, I heard a cell ring.
"Do you need to get that?" I asked. "Nope, " she says.
Then I heard another cell-phone ditty.
""Maybe it's important," I said.
They looked at each other, laughed, and explained that when no one was paying attention to Joey, he 'calls' Mom's cell phone. When she doesn't respond, he 'calls' Dad's cell. (Two different ring tones.)
Then I heard, "Here, Chewey, here, Chewey...Chewey want a yum-yum?"
Chewey the Spaniel, ran out from under the table and parked at the base of Joey's cage, wagging and looking hopeful.
"Hahahahaha, JUST KID-DING!" Joey again. Turns out he didn't like Chewey, and loved to tease him.
So, the stories started...One time, Pedro, the Chihuaua, and Joey were on the floor, and they heard yelling, "Help, help! Bad Pedro, oh, dear me" - the humans ran into the living room and yup, Pedro was humping Joey.
The snake, turtles, and hampsters all had a new attritude toward Pedro.
"Un-oh, Pedro the Pervert, help, help..." became a favorite of Joey's when Pedro was around.
I's sure like to sign those folks again; a most unusual household.
