The Burglar And The Parrot

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house that he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he 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.

Frightened the burglar stopped dead again. Frantically he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage. In the cage was a parrot.

He asked the parrot, "Was that you who said, Jesus is watching you?"

"Yes," said the parrot.

The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, then asked the parrot, "What's your name?"

"Clarence," said the parrot.

"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?"

The parrot replied, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus."
