A magician on a cruise liner had a parrot, who'd seen all the magician's
tricks a billion times, long ago having figured out how the magician made
everything in the act disappear. The parrot got bored, his owner growing
stale and not developing any new tricks that the parrot could figure out.

One night in the middle of the magician's performance, the ship hit an
iceberg and sank. Everyone drowned except the magician and the parrot. The
magician managed to swim to a piece of wreckage and climb aboard, immediately
collapsing from exhaustion.

Soon afterward, the parrot flew to the magician and perched on the edge of
the makeshift raft and stared at the magician. And stared. And stared. For a
whole day the magician was unconscious, and all this time the parrot didn't
take his eyes off him. Eventually the magician started to stir. Looking up,
he saw the parrot, still eyeing him intently, not even blinking.

Another hour goes by, and finally the parrot squawks, "Awright, I give up.
What did you do with the ship?"
