It's not just the people who are strange...

I live in a relatively rough area, so I do see some grim and scary sights. I don't think there's a day goes by  when I don't see someone of their norks*on drugs, yelling at their partner and trying  to start a fist fight with a post box. Generally my internal monologue goes something like this:
     "Is there anybody normal round here? He's got scarily hollow cheeks and is speaking to the wind. She's wearing her jeans tucked into her socks, a crop top which only emphasises her beer gut and an expression that suggests she wants to remove my toenails and eat them. Oh, he looks normal! No... no, wait...is that a parrot he's holding?"

I genuinely saw a guy walking down the street, having a conversation with a parrot. A real parrot. It was just perched on his arm as people walked past him without batting an eyelid. I'm not sure if the other people on the street didn't notice the parrot (likely, most of the people round here are zombies) or just weren't surprised to see this man walking along with his parrot- maybe it's a regular occurance, I don't know; all I thought was "WTF? omglolroflcopter."
     That wasn't the end of the animal oddities; earlier in the week I witnessed a jack russel with a rainbow painted on it's hind left butt area. I thought it was funny, so posted a status about it on Facebook and instanly sparked a debate on Animal rights, which slowly turned into a debate on what I think might have been Animal Gay rights and small dog syndrome, the latter of which is, frankly, hilarious and is getting added to my list of reasons not to get a chihuahua.
Painting your dog is probably hilarious, (providing you use dyes that won't harm your pooch) because you could totally paint your butch, boy dog pink and convince him  he's blue and manly and he won't ever find out because he's colour blind! Bahahahahaaaa! I might dye my rabbit pink. (He won't care because he's gay.)
     Finally I saw a horse and cart pulling out of a petrol station, which begs the question; which end did the petrol pump go in?


Nyoink.
