A single guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet, so he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede, (100-legged bug), which came with a little white box.
He took the box home, found a good spot for it and decided he would start off this new relationship by taking his new pet to church with him.
