New Pet

[Pete]

This guy was lonely and so he decided life
  would be more fun if he had a pet.
  So he went to the pet store and told
  the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet
  After some discussion, he finally bought a
  centipede (100-legged bug), which came in a
  little white box to use for his house.

  He took the box back home, found a good location
  for the box, and decided he would start off by
  taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink.
  So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you
  like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?"
  But there was no answer from his new pet.

  This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few
  minutes and then asked him again, "How about
  going to the bar and having a drink with me?"
  But again, there was no answer from his new friend
  and pet.

  So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the
  situation.  He decided to ask him one more time; this
  time putting his face up against the centipede's
  house and shouting, "Hey, in there! Would you like
  to go to Frank's place and have a drink with me?

  A little voice came out of the box:

  "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes."
