Humorous story about a parrot mimickry gave up a woman's affair.

In any case, this made me laugh

"I am surprised to hear he got rid of that bird," she added to The Guardian newspaper. "He spent more time talking to it than he did to me."

And there it is. When a woman cheats, there's always some reason why it's the guy's fault. Here's a cluestick lady - if he didn't pay enough attention, didn't rub your nub, didn't soap your hairy back, whatever, then LEAVE HIM. Cheating on him and then telling the world why you did is fk'n lame, and it's sad that woman continually get away with that little trick. Humorous how seldom the male justification is given credence.

"She wouldn't take it the arse"

I'd be more surprised if she (or a man in her position) didn't try to justify their behavior somehow. Especially towards the press.

She knows that she's going to come off as a bitch. Might as well pursue some sort of damage control instead of "yeah, I'm a bitch. So what?"
