What is a polygon A dead parrot what does this joke mean?

Answer 1

This joke is a reference to a famous sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus where a customer tries to return a dead parrot to a pet shop, but the shop owner insists that the parrot is not dead but just resting. The humor lies in the absurdity of the situation and the shop owner's unwavering denial of the obvious truth. The term "polygon" has no direct connection to the joke and may have been included as a non sequitur or a miscommunication.

Answer 2

It's a geometry term and a play on words. A cliche parrot name is "Polly", as in "Polly, want a cracker?" or like the cliche, Fido, name for a dog, or the cliche company name "Acme". Polly (parrot) gon (gone=dead)
