The Parrot and the Burglar

Late one night, a burglar crept into a house, trying his best to remain unnoticed. Just as he tiptoed through the living room, a thunderous voice shattered the silence: “Jesus is watching you!”

Startled, he froze in place. Heart pounding, he waited, but when nothing happened, he cautiously resumed his steps.

Once again, the voice boomed, “Jesus is watching you!”

This time, he panicked and frantically scanned the room. His eyes landed on a parrot perched inside a cage.

“Was that you?” he asked, pointing at the bird.

“Yes,” the parrot replied, tilting its head.

Relieved, the burglar let out a breath and chuckled. “What’s your name?”

“Moses,” the parrot answered.

The burglar snorted. “Moses? What kind of fool names a parrot Moses?”

With a squawk, the parrot shot back, “The same fool who named the Rottweiler Jesus.”

The Nutty Cemetery Mix-Up

One day, two boys were sitting under a nut tree near a cemetery, dividing a large bucket of nuts between them. Some of the nuts had spilled out and rolled close to the cemetery fence, but the boys ignored those for the moment as they focused on their task.

“One for you, one for me,” they chanted, their voices echoing in the quiet.

As fate would have it, a boy riding his bike nearby heard the rhythmic voices. Convinced he’d stumbled upon something otherworldly, he whispered to himself, “It’s Satan and St. Peter dividing souls!” Terrified, he pedaled down the road to find help and encountered an old man sitting on a porch.

“You have to come! They’re dividing souls at the cemetery!” the boy cried.

Intrigued and slightly skeptical, the old man reluctantly hobbled over with him. As they approached the fence, the chilling chant continued: “One for you, one for me…”

Shivering, the old man murmured, “Dear Lord, it’s true!”

But before they could flee, one of the boys called out, “Now let’s grab the ones by the fence!”

Legend has it the old man managed to make it back to town five minutes before the terrified boy.

The Twin Naming Fiasco

While attending a conference overseas, a man received the exciting news that his wife had just given birth to twins. Thrilled, he called her immediately.

“Who took you to the hospital?” he asked.

“Your brother, Joe,” she replied. “Since I was under anesthesia, he also named the babies.”

The man froze. “Joe?! He’s terrible with names! What did he call them?”

“Well,” she said, “he named the girl Deniece.”

The man sighed in relief. “That’s not too bad. What about the boy?”

“He named him De-nephew.”

The Farmer’s Divorce Dilemma

A farmer strolled into a lawyer’s office and declared, “I want a divorce.”

The lawyer, curious, asked, “What grounds do you have?”

“About 140 acres,” the farmer answered matter-of-factly.

The lawyer sighed. “No, I mean, do you have a grudge?”

“Sure do. That’s where I park my tractor.”

Trying not to lose patience, the lawyer asked, “Is there any reason at all why you want a divorce?”

The farmer scratched his head and replied, “Well, we can’t ever have a meaningful conversation.”

The Frog’s Unfortunate Prediction

One day, a frog decided to call a psychic hotline to get a glimpse of his future.

To his delight, the psychic said, “In the near future, you’ll meet a beautiful young woman. She’ll be utterly captivated by you and will want to know everything about you.”

Excited, the frog asked, “Where will I meet her? At a party? Maybe she’ll walk past my home?”

The psychic hesitated for a moment before responding, “Actually… you’ll meet her in her biology class next semester.”
