A successful businessman wanted to send his elderly mother a very special gift for her birthday, a rare South American endangered bird valued at $5,000.
When he called his mother to see how she liked the surprise gift he was shocked when she said, “It was quite small, but tasted very good.”
He asked her, after her shocking reply, “Mom, that was a $5000 bird that can speak five languages and you ate him?”
“Well, if he could speak five languages he should have spoken up.”
