Parrot Auctioneer
A very wealthy man went to an auction to realize he was just in time to bid for the next item, a talking parrot.
This man started the bidding at $1,000. He heard a bid for a total of $5,000, and he finally made a bid for $10,000, which was the final bid.
When he came to pick up the parrot, he asked if it could really talk.
The answer was: “Sure, who do you think was bidding against you?”
