Pretty Polly !!!! ****

[rogera]

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shone his torch around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said,

"Jesus knows you're here."

He nearly jumped out of his skin, switched his torch off, and froze.

When he heard nothing more, after a while, he shook his head and continued.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell, he heard,

"Jesus is watching you."'

Badly shaken, he shone the torch around frantically, looking for the source of the voice.

Finally, in the corner of the room, the beam came to rest on a parrot.

"Did you say that?" he hissed at the parrot.

"Yep.", the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you that he is watching you."

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

"Moses," replied the bird.

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

"The same kind of person that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."
