A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his flashlight around,
looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his sack,
a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark
saying "Jesus is watching you."
The thief nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off and froze.
When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, clicked the light
back on and began searching for more valuables.
Just as he pulled the stereo so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell
he heard, "Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shone his light around
frantically looking for the source of the voice.
Finally, in the corner of the room, flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.
"Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot.
"Yep," the parrot confessed, "I'm just trying to warn you."
The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who the are you?"
"Moses," replied the bird.
"Moses??!!" the burglar laughed. "What kind of stupid people would name a
parrot Moses?"
"Probably the same kind of people that would name a rottweiler Jesus," the
bird answered |
