A burglar broke into a house
one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and
when he picked up a VCR to place in his sack, a strange disembodied voice
echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you".
The burglar 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 long holiday after his next big score, clicked his 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".
Almost in a panic, 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, eh? Who the heck are you?"
"Moses" replied the bird.
"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name
a parrot Moses?"
The bird promptly answered, "Probably the same kind of people that would
name a 140 pound rottweiler, Jesus."
