The Burglar

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but froze suddenly in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say, "Jesus is watching you!"

Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.

"Jesus is watching you," the voice bellowed again.

The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. He was frightened. 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, and asked the parrot, "What's your name?"

"Thomas," said the bird.

"That's a stupid name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot would name a parrot Thomas?"

The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the pitbull Jesus."
