Happy go Lucky
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
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." 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, anyway?"
"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
who
would name a Rottweiler 'Jesus'!"
