Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop in Upper Hutt. They head to the bird section and Paddy says to Mick: "Dat's dem."
The shop owner comes over and asks if he can help them.
"Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere budgies in dat cage up dere." says Paddy.
The owner puts the budgies in a paper bag. Paddy and Mick pay for the birds, leave the shop, get into Paddy's pickup and drive to the top of the Rimutakas. Paddy looks down at the 1000 ft. drop and says, "Dis looks like a grand place." he takes two birds out of the bag, puts them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff.
Mick watches as Paddy falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead.
Looking down at the broken remains of his best pal, Mick shakes his head and says. "Dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me."
WAIT!!! there's MORE!
PART TWO:
Moments later, Pete arrives up at the summit. He's been to the pet shop too, and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another paper bag in one hand and his shotgun in the other.
"Hey, Mick, watch dis," Pete says. He takes a parrot from the bag and throws himself over the edge of the cliff. Mick watches as, half way down, Pete takes the gun and shoots the parrot. Pete continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body.
Mick shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting either."
BUT WAIT!!! there's still MORE!
PART THREE:
Mick is just getting over the shock of losing his two friends when Dave appears.
He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a paper bag out of which he pulls a chicken. Dave then grasps the chicken by the legs, holds it over his head, and hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine.
Once more Mick shakes his head. "First der was Paddy with his budgie jumping, den Pete parrotshooting, and now Dave is hengliding........"
