Just a Joke (hopefully funny)

A man goes into a pet store. He asks for a pet that does everything, so the store manager sells him a centipede. The man takes it home. He tells is to clean the bathroom. It does. He tells it to scrub the kitchen floor. It does that. He tells it to go down to the corner and pick up a newspaper. Ten minute go by and no centipede. Fifteen more minutes go by, still no centipede. The man walks to the door and finds the centipede sitting on the porch. "I told you to get me a paper," the man said. The centipede replied, "Okay, but I'm still putting my shoes on!"
