The Fifth Parrot


    3 girls, Jan, Sue and Mary haven't seen each other since leaving
school. They rediscover each other via Facebook and arrange to meet for
lunch
    Jan arrives first, wearing a beige Versace dress. She orders a
bottle of Pinot Grigio.
  Sue arrives shortly afterward, wearing a grey Chanel number. After the
initial hugs and kisses she joins Jan in a glass of wine.  Then Mary
walks in, wearing a faded old tee-shirt, blue jeans and boots. She too
shares the wine.
   Jan explains that  after leaving school and attending Oxford
University she met and married Timothy, with whom she has a beautiful
daughter. Timothy is a partner in one of Sydney's leading law firms.
They live in a 4000 sq ft apartment on The North Shore and Susanna, the
daughter, attends drama school. They have a second home in Bali.
   Sue relates that  she graduated from Monash University, studied to
become a doctor and became a surgeon. Her husband, Clive, is a leading
financial investment banker in Melbourne. They live in the Toorak area
and have a second home in Italy.
   Mary explains that  after she left school at 17, she ran off with her
boyfriend, Mark. They run a  tropical bird park in Mississauga and grow
their own vegetables. Mark can stand five parrots, side by side, on his
erect penis.
   Halfway down the third bottle of wine and several hours later, Jan
blurts out that her husband is really a cashier at Target they live in a
small apartment and have a camper trailer parked on the front drive.
   Sue, chastened and  encouraged by her old friend's honesty, explains
that she and Clive are both nursing care assistants in an old people's
home. They live in Hoppers Crossing and take camping holidays on the
Murray.
   Mary admits that the fifth parrot has to stand on one leg.
