TracGunny,
I was once escourted out of a pet shop for trying to teach the parrots to say "Here kitty, kitty".
The owner didn't have a sense of humor.

Two of my WestPac deployments pulled Libo port or calls in Kenya were I always signed up for a safari; the running joke was to use "Here, Kitty..." whenever a big cat was spotted.
We also began passing around a flyer promoting a team and individual Midnight Rhino Tipping Competition... being the ring leader, I was the one who had to tap dance in front of the ship's XO and Marine COT explaining it WAS a joke.
Seems pet shop owners are not the only ones without a sense of humor...
