JOKE
There was a boy named Jim who lived with his dad but he was very poor. however, one day, Jim's dad won the lottery and offered Jim anything he wanted for his upcoming birthday. Jim gave it some thought.
Jim eventually decided that all he wanted was a plastic parrot. Jim's dad wasn't sure why he wanted a plastic parrot but agreed anyway.
On Jim's birthday, like he asked, Jim received a single plastic parrot. He was extremely grateful and hastened to put his new present in his room. HOWEVER, the next morning it had completely vanished.
A year passed and Jim was once again offered any gift he desired for he desired for his 13th birthday. Jim asked his dad for box full of plastic parrots. once again, not fully understanding the reason, jim's dad agreed.
Jim awoke to a neatly wrapped crate filled with plastic parrots. Jim set each of them up on his shelf, extremely pleased with his 13th birthday. HOWEVER, once again, the following morning the parrots had vanished.
His 14th Birthday arrived and Jim had heightened his wish-list, this time requesting an entire room full of plastic parrots. Jim's father agreed, this time less confused. The parrots arrived as agreed. HOWEVER, the next morning all the parrots had gone.
Jim was now nearly 15, and for this birthday he asked for a warehouse filled with plastic parrots. As usual, these parrots were given. HOWEVER, the next day all the parrots had vanished again. Jim's dad was beginning to become curious but the joy on Jim's face dismissed his curiosity.
Suddenly and tragically, Jim was involved in a car accident on the way to school. Jim's father was called to the hospital and it became evident that Jim didn't have long left.
His father, in tears, to Jim in his last moments, had only one thing to ask. What was the deal with the plastic parrots?
In Jim's dyeing breath, he wimpered;
"The parrots were..."
and then he died.

..... 35 views and nobody gets it. Geeze... Neither do I. It's not a joke, it's a he's happy then he dies, tragedy.
OK OK, i guess its english humour, although i admit its not tht funny, the joke is that there is no joke and you will never find out the punchline because the boy died, hence reading the long, tedious joke turns out to be a waste of time. happy?
Yes, this is definitely a case of british humour. like this (not plugging, don't uprate it, just thought i'd use it as an example)
