I love the 'parroty error' joke (not trumpet blowing - I didnt invent it). When I heard it I thought it was the most perfect joke I'd ever heard.
Parroty vs Parity, 'Pieces of eight' being what parrots say, and a parity error being defined pretty much as 'one of your eight bits is missing' make it just about the worlds most perfect joke in my humble opinion. OK, it aint side-splittingly funny, but it just works at every level.

true Story ...
In the early days on needing IT Passwords I had a customer who set the password to all new machines to the word "what"
Then when people took delivery of the machines the user would call them and say "Whats the password" and the "helpline" would say "that's right" and put the phone down.
They also had user depts who quite genuinely had the passwords written on a big notice on the office wall - ah how things have changed!!
