[gentman]

A lady went to an auction and was smitten by a beautiful parrot for sale

and decided that she must own this gorgeous bird! When the bird

came up for sale, the auctioneer asked, "How much am I bid for this

parrot?"

The lady bid "Seven hundred dollars".

"Eight hundred!" someone countered.

"Eight hundred fifty!" the lady shouted.

The bidding continued this way until finally the lady found herself the

proud owner of an parrot for $1500.

She approached the auctioneer and asked him, "Can the bird talk?"

The auctioneer replied, "Lady, who do you think was bidding against you"
