From my brother the Marine
Polly Want Some Bloodshed?
Late one night, a burglar broke into a house that he thought was empty.
He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he
heard a loud voice say, “Jesus is watching you!”
Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward. “Jesus is watching you!”
the voice boomed again.
The frightened burglar stopped dead. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner,
he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot.
He asked the parrot, "Was that you who said, ‘Jesus is watching me?’”
“Yes”, replied the parrot.
The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, then he asked the parrot, “What's your name?”
“Clarence,” said the bird.
“That's a dumb name for a parrot,” sneered the burglar. “What idiot named you Clarence?”
“The same idiot who named the pit bull Jesus.”
