How much are the carrots?

One day a man goes to a pet shop to buy a parrot. The assistant takes the man to the parrot section and asks him to choose one.The man asks, “How much is the yellow one?”

The assistant replies that it costs $2,000. The man is shocked and asks the assistant why it’s so expensive.

The assistant tells him, “This parrot is a very special one. He can type really fast.”

“Okay, what about the green one?” the man asks.

The assistant says, “He costs $5,000 because he can type, answer incoming phone calls and takes notes.”

“What about the red one?” the man then asks.

The assistant says, “That one’s $10,000.”

Curious, the man asks, “What does he do?”

The assistant says, “I don’t know, but the other two call him boss.”
