>The owner says, "How about a cat?"
>The man replies, "No way!  A cat certainly can't do everything.

>The man says, "A centipede?  I can't imagine a centipede doing

>He gets the centipede home and says to the centipede, "Clean

>Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen and...  it's
>immaculate.  All the dishes and silverware have been washed, dried,
>and put away; the counter-tops cleaned; the appliances sparkling;
>the floor waxed.  He's absolutely amazed.

>He says to the centipede, "Go clean the living room."

>Twenty minutes later, he walks into the living room. The carpet
>has been vacuumed; the furniture cleaned and dusted; the pillows
>on the sofa plumped; plants watered. The man thinks to himself,

>centipede!  He can't imagine what could have happened.
>Did the centipede run away?  Did it get run over by a car?
>Where is that centipede??
>He goes to the front door, opens it ... and there's the
>centipede sitting right outside.

>The man says, "Hey!!! I sent you down to the corner 45 minutes
>ago to get me a newspaper. What's the story?!"
>The centipede says, "I'm goin'!  I'm goin'!  I'm just puttin' on
