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 out 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 out
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, his 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 hell 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
rotweiller Jesus,” the bird answered.
