A bosun I sailed with on Bamenda Palm in the sixties, his name was Norman O'brian from Liverpool, bought an African grey parrot for his kids. Norman had a stock answer for everything if you wanted something -uck off. One day about five of us were sat in his cabin having a beer when all of a sudden we heard his voice say -uck off. We all looked at him and he said it wasn't him, you guessed it, it was the parrot, poor Norman panicked,he said if he took it home to the kids his wife would do her nut. He spent the rest of the trip trying not to F and blind in his cabin. He did take it home.
