Easy-ish.
A man walks into a pet shop looking to buy a parrot. The shop owner takes him over to the "Great Peruvian Purple Parrot of Paridise" and explains 'This parrot will repeat every word it hears'.
The man buys the parrot and takes it home. One week later he takes it back and goes. "This parrot hasn't said a damn word! All it does is squawk at me!"
What was wrong?
The man didn't say anything for a week or he went on a trip without the parrot.
Answer to my crime puzzle.
No one. Mr. Larson and his wife faked his death to collect on his life insurance. They operated on the belief that crimes at sea are rarely reported and even more rarely investigated and solved. Unfortunately for them, the captain realized that Mrs. Larson could not have been diabetic if people had witnessed her drinking that much alcohol. A diabetic would have fallen into a coma and probably died from consuming as much as she had. So what was in the cooler? Since no human can survive a loss of four liters of blood, Mr. arson had drawn his own blood over time, froze it, and brought it in onboard with him in the cooler they claimed contained Mrs. Larson's insulin. Then they used that blood as murder "evidence." Mr. Larson was still alive. He was lying low in disguise, waiting to sneak off the ship at the next port.
