The Parrot and the Burglar
Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is watching you!"
Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.
"Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again.
The burglar froze again – terrified. Frantically, he looked all around with his torch. In a far corner, he spotted a birdcage with a parrot perched inside.
"Was it you who said Jesus is watching me?" he asked the parrot.
"Yes," said the parrot.
The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What's your name?"
"Clarence," said the bird.
"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?"
The parrot squawked sarcastically, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiller Jesus."
