Well, I deserve the facepalm for that one. OK, here's another one that my dad told me many years ago. (note that the original joke had the man as being Polish. I'm almost certain I'm of Polish ancestry, being that my Grandfather's last name ended with ...sky.

A man walked into a pet shop, and was looking at the birds. He saw a very colorful parrot, and asked the store owner about it. It was a great bird, but it cost over 3000 bucks. The man couldn't afford that, and asked if there was anything else he could get.

The store owner showed him another bird that only cost 100 bucks. The store owner explained that the bird was perfect, except his beak was 1 millimeter to long. The guy said he was a mechanic and could easily file that long beak to make it look perfect. The store owner warned him that he couldn't file more than 1 millimeter off the beak, otherwise he'd hit the Tetse nerve and it would die.

The next day, the man walked into the store, looking very sad. The store owner said, "I did warn you not to file more than 1mm off the beak. What happened?". The man replied, "I crushed his head in the vice".
