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'!
