The burglar
Posted by: clean-hewmor <clean-hewmor@...>
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".
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off and froze.
When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised
himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light back on
and began searching more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so
he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, "Jesus is
watching you." Totally rattled, he shone his light around frantically,
looking for the source of the voice.
Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a
parrot.
"Did you say that?" He hissed at the parrot.
"Yes," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn
you. " The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who do you think you are
any way?"
"Moses," Replied the bird.
"Moses?" the burglar laughed.
"What kind of stupid people would name a parrot 'Moses'?"
The bird promptly answered: "The same kind of people that would name
a Rottweiler 'Jesus'!"
