The Parrot

A man wanted to buy a parrot, so he goes to the pet shop and inquires about their stock. The attendant shows him a parrot, which is quite exceptional in that it speaks any language you want. Intrigued by this, the man decides to test the bird by asking it a few questions:

M: "Do you speak English?"
P: "Yes."
M: "Hablas Espanol?"
P: "Si!"
M: "Parlez vouz Francaise?"
P: "Oui!"
M: "Sprechen sie Deutsch?"
P: "Jawohl!"

and this goes on in several languages.

After all his options were exhausted, the man thought for a while, then asked the parrot, "Do you speak Yiddish?"

The parrot shrugs its shoulders and says: "Nu? Mit a nose like dis, vot you tink?"
