> This guy was lonely, and decided life would be more

> So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like

> again, "How about going to the bar and having a drink
> with me?" But again, there was no answer from his new
> friend and pet.
>
> So he waited 10 minutes more, thinking about the
> situation. He decided to ask him one more time! This
> time putting his face up against the centipede's house
> and shouting, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to
> Boswell's and have a drink with me?"
>
> A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you the
> first time! I'm putting on my shoes."
