Customer care and its effects on dissatisfied purchasers of exotic birds(The ‘Dead Parrot’ Sketch) Mr Praline
Background • Parrot purchased in this shop • (erroneously referred to as ‘Boutique’) • One hour previously • Avian description – Blue • Country of origin - Norway
SWOT analysis • Strengths • Beautiful plumage • Moves when cage is hit • Weaknesses • No vital signs • Appears to be dead • Fails to respond to offer of cuttlefish
SWOT analysis (contd) • Opportunities • Throw bird into the air • Bang it on the counter • Threats • Bird could be stunned • (Norwegian Blues are known to stun easily) • Could be pining for fjords
New development • Cadaver is observed to have been joined to perch by means of a pointed piece of metal hammered in as a fastener (nail) • Rationale: • Had this precaution not been taken, it could have reached, and then prised apart, the cage bars.
Conclusion • Aforementioned exotic bird is: • Passed on • No more • Expired; gone to meet maker1 • Stiff (and bereft of life) • Rests in peace • Off the twig [sic] • Shuffled off mortal coil • Gone to join choir invisible [idiom] 1 Reference to certain religious conceptions of origination • No replacement available at this time • Customer declined slug due to it not being able to speak
