Pets

I met up with a very old and good friend of mine a couple of days ago at starbucks. His name is lester. Now lester, who, like me, is a pet person. He’s got a dog named pammy and now, for some strange inane reason has over 20 birds in his house. Mostly parakeets and those other small annoying birds. Its been known among the circle of our friends that lester and me get into some really strange conversations. And this time he was trying to convince me that these birds that he has are really good as pets. And then the conversation truns into which animals make good pets.

Here goes:

Birds:
Birds are good pets if they are the exotic kinds. The kinds that talk back to you when you whistle. These small irritating ones that lester has I don’t consider birds. More like overgrown moths with color. Although lester says that its quite relaxing to hear the overgrown moths chirp every morning. We still arguing on this one…

Dogs:
No arguments here. All of them rock!!!

Cats:
We both associated cats with women for some reason. It wasn’t a sexist comment. It just meant that women like cats. Haven’t met too many men who say they prefer cats to dogs.

Iguanas & other reptiles:
I highly appreciate people who keep reptiles as pets cause they have mastered the art of disgusting people and at the same time have fun with it. Their worlds revolve around themselves only cause only they think that its cool to keep an iguana. Also a pro is that they are low maintenance pets. The con is that u don’t know when they are alive, dead or waiting to eat you.

Goldfish:
See now, Goldfish have a 3 second memory. 3 SECONDS. So I guess they’ll never get bored in a fish tank. Imagine 2 fish in a fish tank. One swims around the tank and meets the second fish: “hello, my name is bill. Nice water we have today”. 2nd fish to 1st fish: “hello bill, im goldie, yeah true, nice water we have today”. They keep swimming. And 3 seconds later when they swim by each other again: “hello, my name is bill, nice……..”

So anyways I came to a conclusion for the best pet ever…

And here it is.

A crab:
Here are the reasons a crab would make a good pet.
1: you never know which way a crab is gonna go. He may go left? Or he may go right? But he’ll keep you guessing.
2: a crab knows martial arts. Which other pet can you keep who always look like they’ve got a martial art pose on. The way they keep their claws is equivalent to bruce lee’s pose in enter the dragon.
3: if you have 2 of them you can have fun with your friends by saying: “ive got crabs”

The last line was very given by our very own Big man!
