On reaching his plane seat a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him. He asks the stewardess for a coffee whereupon the parrot squawks, 'And get me a coke, you cow!' The stewardess, flustered, brings back a coke for the parrot and forgets the coffee. When this omission is pointed out to her, the parrot drains its glass and bawls 'And get me another coke dogface!' Quite upset, the girl comes back shaking with another coke but still no coffee. Unaccustomed to such slackness the man tries the parrot's approach. 'I've asked you twice for a coffee! Go and get it now you old goat!' The next moment both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging downwards the parrot turns to him and says, 'For someone who can't fly, you've got guts!'

That song was a hit in England by Manfred Mann in '68, immediately after The Mighty Quinn.

Semi-Finals results Montreal 42....Winnipeg 33 Well, this was interesting. The Als mopped the floor with the Bombers in the first half, and led 25-6 at the break. The Bombers started the third quarter with a quick three touchdowns to take the lead.
