A chap walking down the road in the UK sees a sign in a pet shop window "Talking Centipede for sale £100".
Greatly take by the idea he pops in and buys it, happily walking out with the purchase in a shoe box.
Getting home he puts the box on the table and thinks how he can show off his new purchase. After a few moments, he asks
"would you like to go to the pub for a drink"
Silence
More silence
Thinking now that he has been scammed, he demands once more in a stern tone
"do you want to go to the pub or what"
"Keep your hair on" comes the reply from the box "I heard you the first time, I am just putting my shoes on"
