Jesus & the
burglar
A burglar broke
into a house one night. He shone his
flashlight around, looking for
valuables; and 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
light on and began searching for more
valuables.
Just as he pulled
the stereo out so h e 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 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 pit bull 'Jesus.'"
