Jokes here please!

Guy who lived alone bought himself a parrot, thinking it would keep him company and also entertain any guests who visited. The parrot is was very talkative, but when guests came over, he cussed a blue streak: "You ##<*!amn <_=ch! Who th F#@* are you?" Etc, etc. Non-stop.
The owner tried everything for timeouts including a black shroud over the cage. The parrot just kept going.
Finally, the guy had a brilliant idea: He would put the parrot in the freezer! For just a few seconds A wake-up message.

The next day, when his lady friend came over, the parrot started cussing immediately. The owner put the parrot in the freezer for just 10 seconds. When he came out, the parrot was very meek and quietly said, " I have seen the error of my ways and will only use polite language from now on. But I have one question: What did the chicken do?"

In my native language 'lice' is used for both head lice and aphids.

I once worked for one of the Evil Corporations, and an intern commended on the plant infection team for working without head covers.
"You guys must be really good at what you do, otherwise you would have worn at least a hair net!"
-"What do you mean? We're just doing counts on plants and taking pictures and notes. Why would we be wearing hair nets?"
"GUYS, YOU'RE IN A GREENHOUSE FULL OF LICE! HOW ARE YOU NOT SCARED OF GETTING THEM?!"

.. It was that day that Xander learned that head lice and plant lice were two entirely different things.
Xander wasn't the brightest kid.
 
When I was growing up, my brother and I spent part of each summer with my dad, stepmom, and twin red-headed stepsisters. (I know, it sounds like the lead up to any number of questionable jokes.)
One year, we decided to go to Chicago from Wichita, KS. Somewhere just west of St. Louis, we saw the billboard advertising a huge truckstop:

SPARKLING CLEAN RESTROOMS.

Also on the sign:

KIDS EAT FREE.
