You would be a good dancer except for two things.

One night a man stumbled into the police station with a black eye. He claimed he had heard a noise in his back yard and went to investigate. The next he knew, he was hit in the eye and knocked out cold.
An officer was sent to his house to investigate, and he returned 1 1/2 hours later with a black eye.
“Did you get hit by the same person?” his captain asked.
“No,” he replied. “I stepped on the same rake.”

Wanda’s dishwasher was broken, so she called in a repairman.
“I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you check. Oh, by the way don’t worry about my dog Spike. He won’t bother you,’’ she told the repairman. “Again, whatever you do, do not talk to my parrot.’’
When the repairman arrived at Wanda’s apartment, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work. The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling.
Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!”
To which the parrot replied, “Sic him Spike!’’
