 A lady was expecting the plumber; he was supposed to come at ten o'clock to fix the sink. Ten o'clock comes and goes; no plumber; eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, one o'clock; no plumber.
She concludes he wasn't coming, and goes out to do some errands. While she's out, the plumber arrives.
He knocks on the door and the lady's parrot, who is at home in a cage by the door, says, "Who is it?"
The plumber replies, "It's the plumber, I've come to fix the sink."
He thought it was the lady who'd said, "Who is it?", so he waits for her to come and let him in. When this doesn't happen he knocks again, and again the parrot says, "Who is it?"
"It's the plumber, come to fix the sink!"
He waits, and again the lady doesn't come to let him in. He knocks again, and again the parrot sings out, "Who is it?"
Getting aggravated, the plumber says, "It's the plumber, come to fix the sink!!!"
Again he waits; again she doesn't come; again he knocks; again the parrot says, "Who is it?"
"Aarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!!" says the plumber, flying into a rage. "It's the @&*#$%^ plumber, come to fix the sink!!!" He pushes the door in and rips it off its hinges. The tremendous effort gives the plumber a heart attack and he falls dead in the doorway.
The lady comes home from her errands, only to see the door ripped off its hinges and a corpse lying in the doorway.
"A dead body!" she exclaims, "Who is it?!"
The parrot says, "It's the @&*#$%^ plumber, he's come to fix the sink."
