It’s your pigeon, Fletcher.

Ya ever notice how Bev posts a bunch of things then goes to bed before we can answer her?HmmmphI was going to compliment her on her pic of the soldier and tell her I loved the Weiner Dog commercial, but I cant. Because. She. Is. Asleep!!

Fletcher Bixby fancied himself as the uber HR director. He thought he would put the right person in the right job, thus bringing a little order to the Universe. After today, what with the Parrot and now Mr. Stosse, Fletcher is wishing he’d stayed out on the Loading Dock. at least there he was the master of all he surveyed. Even if it was only the back fence.

Wait a minute… I’m with Bev, here….are you sure that parrot isn’t a good fit?

He’s very bright…. just look at him….and has a talon for business. Plus. he’s a real yes-man…. parrots back everything you say.And if you’ve got a problem or a client that’s a tough nut to crack…well, that’s when he’s at his beak.

I know everybody thinks parrots squawk too much if they don’t get what they want….Just offer him some claws in his contract about bonuses, and he’ll work his tail off.

Rose…. I think Mr. Stussie simply has it in for Fletcher cos Fletcher just can’t get his name right.

Bobarion…. um….I know it was directed at Rose….but…. damn right you are…. what?

And Dennis… yes.Lovely!Does that “paint pot” one come in a glitter version…by any chance?

I’d sure like a whole bolt of it, if it does….

He’s got corporate experience, though… The Crimson Permanent Assurance is on his CV.

Got a $30 donation yesterday.Woo Hoo!

@beviekThat was a fast turnaround on the wiener dog gif. Great ad, that, and the Christopher Walken hand/sock puppet.

“Fletch one up, Fletch, and give him the shaft!”

Annette, now I see it, I didn’t realize those three chutes were the start of the gif. I guess I got distracted…

Unusual for a parrot not to fill out the papers completely — just put them back in his cage for a while…

VP of Corporate Communications

Good one, Annette!

Hi Bev, I always enjoy your posts. I liked the weiner hotdog race and the soldier and kitten. :-)Too many good ones to mention on this site.Hi susan! Always good to see your punny posts.

Good Night, Ballardears!

I don’t get it. Why have a parrot in the office when you could have a bunny?
