A man went into a pet shop one Tuesday morning to buy a new pet and the shop
assistant offered him a mouse.

"This is no ordinary mouse," said the shop assistant. "He
can talk."

"Rubbish!" said the man. "Mice can't talk!"

"Oh, I can, sir," said the mouse, "and I really need a new
home.  I've had
six owners in the past three weeks but none of them understood how special I
am.  I can run a mile faster than a Ferrari.  I can cook better than Jamie
Oliver, and once had a trial as a goal keeper for Manchester United.  I swam
the English Channel a month ago.  I can sing opera, play the piano, and I
know how to program a video recorder properly."

"This mouse is incredible!" said the man.  "How come he's
had six owners in
the past three weeks?"

"Unfortunately," said the shop assistant, "they just
couldn't put up with 
his constant lies."
