Did you hear about the little old lady who had a parrot that wouldn't say anything but "who is it" ?
One day she phoned a plumber to fix a leaky pipe and he said he'd be there at noon the following day. The little old lady got up bright and early the next morning, but while she was waiting she realised she was running short of a few vital things and needed to go into town. She looked at the clock and seeing there was still 2 hours until noon and it was only a 10 minute bus ride, she figured she could make the trip and be back home again well before the plumber arrived
Unfortunately her bus was held up in a traffic jam and the plumber showed up before she got back. He knocked on the door and the Parrot said "who is it?", once again the plumber said "It's the plumber" and the parrot repeated "who is it?". He again repeated "It's the plumber", but once again the Parrot just said "who is it?". The plumber was getting a bit fed-up by now, but thinking perhaps she was a bit deaf he slowly and patiently repeated yet again (but a bit louder this time) "Don't be scared my dear, it's only the plumber, will you let me in?", but still the only thing the parrot said was 'who is it?'
This exchange went on for some time until finally the plumber could stand it no more and taking a deep breath he yelled at the top of his lungs "IT'S THE BLOODY PLUMBER, FOR GOD'S SAKE WILL YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND LET ME IN" but once more the parrot said "who is it?", at which point the plumber made an incoherent sound in his throat and collapsed on the doorstep from a heart attack.
A few minutes later the old lady finally arrived home, she saw plumber lying prostrate on the porch and screamed "Oh my god. Who is it?". Whereupon, from inside the house the parrot said "Don't worry my dear, it's only the plumber".
