   A woman who has a pet parrot also has a problem with her plumbing, so   
   she calls a plumber. While she is waiting for him, she decides she   
   needs some items from the store. She thinks she can probably make it   
   to the store and back before the plumber arrives, so off she goes.   
      
   Shortly after she leaves, the plumber arrives and knocks on the door.   
   From inside, he hears "Who is it"? He replies," It's the plumber".   
      
   He waits a few minutes for the door to open and when it does not, he
