Guy Faber suggested a boring clean joke..

A chap walks past a pet-shop and sees a sign in the window saying 'Talking centipede for sale - £50.' 

He thinks to himself I'll just have to have that - so he goes into the shop and says to the shopkeeper 'Does it really talk or are you just winding people up?' 

'Yes it talks' says the shopkeeper 'In fact you can have your money back if it doesn't.' 

So the chap parts with £50 and off he goes with the centipede. 

When he gets outside he says to the centipede 'Would you like to go for a walk in the park?'  No reply.  So he asks again.  No reply.  So he shouts very loudly 'WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO FOR A WALK IN THE PARK!?' 

To which the centipede says 'There's no need to shout, I heard you the first time - I'm just putting my shoes on.'
