"LOOK HERE, STUPID!" 



A LADY had a parrot, which, among- other words, picked up the 

 above. This sentence the bird probably learnt from hearing the 

 housemaid scold a girl for neglect in dusting. So Poll would often 

 surprise visitors by bursting out with "Look here, stupid!" 



Poll was often allowed to go about the room out of her cage. 

 One day, when the lady was away from home, the servants left the 

 front door open, and Poll, being out of her cage, flew away from 

 the house, and could not be found. All gave her up for lost.
