A burglar broke into a house one night

A burglar broke into a house one night.

He shone his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he pick 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 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.

“Yep,” the parrot confessed, then squawked, “I’m trying to warn you.”

The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who are you?”

“Moses,” replied the parrot. “Moses?” the burglar laughed, “What kind of stupid people would name a parrot Moses?”

“Probably the same kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus.”
