[…] The parrot was in the church. When the man asked whether anyone knew a reason for us not to marry, it squawked, ‘Cunt flaps.’ My bride bent double with laughter, and even though we made our vows I knew the marriage was over.

My girlfriend and I have been sharing a flat several months. Most mornings she asks me whether I would like something to drink.
‘We’ve got tea or coffee,’ she says.
‘I’m fine,’ I say. ‘Really.’

‘But you’ve got to have something before you go to work,’ she insists, looking intently at the kettle.
‘OK, I’ll have a coffee,’ I say reluctantly, my body screaming out for caffeine. ‘But only if it’s not too much trouble.’
