One day, a man decided to try out a new restaurant in town. As he walked in, he noticed that the place was completely empty except for the owner, a waitress, and a parrot sitting on a perch.
The man sat down and ordered a burger and a beer. As he was waiting, the parrot started talking.
"Hey there, handsome! You're looking pretty good today!" the parrot squawked.
The man chuckled and replied, "Thanks, I appreciate the compliment."
The parrot then asked, "Hey, do you want to hear a joke?"
"Sure, I love a good joke," the man replied.
The parrot cleared its throat and began, "Why don't scientists trust atoms?"
The man shrugged, "I don't know, why?"
"Because they make up everything!" the parrot cackled, flapping its wings in delight.
The man laughed at the cheesy joke and thanked the parrot for the entertainment. Just then, the waitress brought out his burger and beer.
As he was eating, the parrot piped up again, "Hey, do you want to hear another joke?"
The man nodded, curious to see what the parrot would come up with next.
The parrot smirked and said, "What's the difference between a cat and a comma?"
The man puzzled over the question for a moment before asking, "I'm not sure, what is the difference?"
The parrot quipped, "A cat has claws at the end of its paws, and a comma is a pause at the end of a clause!"
The man burst out laughing, impressed with the clever wordplay. He finished his meal and got up to leave, thanking the owner and the parrot for the great jokes.
As he walked out the door, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Who knew that a parrot could be funnier than most stand-up comedians?"
