 One  day  a husband decided to go to a pet store and
 get his wife a bird   for   Christmas.   He  knew  she 
 loved  animals,  birds  in particular, and decided this
 would be the perfect gift for her.
 
 He  goes  to  the pet store and asks the manager if he
 has anything special in the way of birds.  The manager
 tells him that in fact he does, it's a bird named
 "Chet".
 
 The  guy  is  very  interested  and  asks to see Chet.
 The manager brings him over to a beautiful bird and
 tells the husband that this is  Chet.   The  husband
 asks what is so special about him and the manager tells
 him that Chet can sing, and that he'll show him.
 
 The  manager  then  takes a cigarette lighter out of
 his pocket and lights  it  a few inches underneath
 Chet's right foot.  Chet begins to  sing  "Jingle
 Bells,  Jingle  Bells, Jingle All the Way".  The
 husband says it is great, "Does Chet sing
 anything else?"  So the  manager  then  lights  his
 lighter under Chet's left foot, and Chet  begins  to
 sing "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the 
 ones I used to know ..."   The husband is very
 impressed, sure that his wife will absolutely love this
 bird, so he buys Chet.
 
 He  brings the bird home and presents it to his wife as
 a Christmas gift.  She  is  very  happy  and  says  the
 bird is beautiful.  The husband  tells her that the
 bird can sing, and he takes his lighter and  lights  it
 beneath Chet's right foot, and Chet begins to sing,
 "Jingle  Bells,  Jingle  Bells,  Jingle  All the Way". 
 The wife is thrilled  and  asks  if  he can do anything
 else.  The husband then lights  the lighter under
 Chet's left foot and Chet begins to sing, "I'm
 dreaming  of  a white Christmas, just like the ones I
 used to know..."
 
 The wife is overwhelmed and asks, "What would happen if
 you put the lighter under both of his feet at the same
 time?"  The husband says that  he  doesn't know, but
 they could try it.  So the husband puts the lighter
 under  both  of the birds feet and the bird begins to
 sing,
 
 "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire...."
