A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined 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, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then
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 shined 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, then squawked, "I'm just trying to
warn you."
The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"
"Moses," replied the bird.
"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of stupid people would
name a parrot Moses?"
The bird promptly answered, "Probably the same kind of people
that would name a Rottweiler "Jesus"!
