Burglar and Parrot


A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined hisflashlight around, looking for valuables, and when hepicked up a CD player to place in his sack, a strange,disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked hisflashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing moreafter a bit, he shook his head, promised himself avacation after the next big score, then clicked thelight on and began searching for more valuables.Just as he pulled the stereo out so he coulddisconnect 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 thecorner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot."Did you say that?" He hissed at the parrot."Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?""Moses," replied the bird."Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of peoplewould name a bird Moses.""The kind of people that would name a rottweiler Jesus." he replied.
