The Burglar

One night, a burglar broke into a house. He shined
his flashlight around, looking for valuables. 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
flashlight 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 shined
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, and then
squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the
world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What
kind of people would name a bird Moses?"

"The kind of people that would name a
Rottweiler Jesus."
