Dear Ann Landers,
ou can print this letter just as I am writing it because everyone in town already knows about it anyway. Our neighbors have a parrot named Plato. This parrot is so smart it is frightening. When Plato rattles off radio and TV commercials he sounds just like the announcers. His Edward P. Morgan imitation is the greatest. The other eve-ning our neighbors had a party. The guests gathered to listen to Plato do his routine. Suddenly Plato shrieked, "Bemie cheats on his wife. Bemie cheats on his wife." Bemie is my husband, and I didn't think it was funny. All the guests roared. Do parrots know what they are saying or do they just pick up phrases and repeat them? I've heard a variety of opinions, and I'd appreciate an answer from you.-Standing By

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, next to the wall. I certainly don’t want to start anything like that again. But-I do have a similar problem that has bothered me for years. Please tell me what you think. Should the lid of the toilet be left up or down? Please note I’m not referring to the toilet seat, it’s the lid I am talking about. In my opinion, the purpose of the lid is to keep it closed when the commode is not in use. I can’t understand why otherwise fastidious people ignore this reasoning and keep the lid up. Please comment.
