A man entered a pet shop, wanting to buy a parrot. The shop owner pointed out three identical parrots on a perch and said, "The parrot to the left costs 500 dollars."
"Why does that parrot cost so much?" the man wondered.
The owner replied, "Well, it knows how to use a computer."
The man asked about the next parrot on the perch. "That one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything the other parrot can do, plus it knows how to use the UNIX operating system."
Naturally, the startled customer asked about the third parrot. That one costs 2,000 dollars." "And what does that one do?" the man asked.
The owner replied, "To be honest, I've never seen him do a thing, but the other two call him boss!"

The Parrots

A lady goes to her parish priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots but they only know how to say one thing." "What do they say?" the priest inquired. "They say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?" "That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed, "I can see why you are embarrassed."

He thought a minute and then said, "You know, I may have a solution to this problem. I have two male parrots whom I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house and we will put them in the cage with Francis and Job. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship. I'm sure your parrots will stop saying that...that phrase in no time." "Thank you," the woman responded, "this may very well be the solution."

The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house. As he ushered her in, she saw his two male parrots were inside their cage, holding their rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them. After just a couple of seconds, the female parrots exclaimed out in unison, "Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?" There was a stunned silence. Finally, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and said, "Put the beads away, Francis, our prayers have been answered!"


An introverted accountant passes a pet store on his way home each day. Inside the window he sees a beautiful parrot preening itself and entertaining itself with its toys.
One day he stops in to get a closer look at the beautiful parrot and finds, to his amazement, that the parrot is quite friendly and sociable towards him.
He enquires to the proprietor of the store about purchasing the bird and the owner informs him the bird is not for sale as its' previous 8 owners all brought it back with complaints about the parrots' language and demeanour. Slightly put off the accountant leaves but continues to stop in to visit with he parrot.

Several months go by and the accountant continues to visit with the parrot and continues to pester the pet store owner. Finally the shop keeper becomes worn down, relenting and sell the bird to the accountant on the condition that the sale is final - no returns; ever!

Happily the accountant buys a cage and play top and food and all the other good stuff and sets his new friend up in a prominent place in his home. Immediately the bird calls out demanding to be fed. And he berates his new owner on the timeliness and quality of the food.

When the accountants mother comes over the parrot makes lewd comments and unacceptable propositions.When the accountants girl friend comes over the parrot criticizes her appearance and her make up and her ability to dress. After several weeks of abuse the mother and the girlfriend will no longer visit and the accountant finally becomes so angry that he puts the bird in the cupboard whereupon the parrot screeches and bangs around in the cupboard smashing things. When the parrot is removed he curses the accountant and the accountant becomes more enraged and throws the bird into the dryer and puts him on tumble dry for 20 minutes.
The bird emerges quite ruffled and curses even louder and makes disparaging remarks about the accountants genealogy. The accountant throws the cursing parrot into the freezer from whence he hears more cursing and vindictive remarks.
After a while it is very quiet and the accontant removes his, by now shivering parrot, because he thinks harm has come to the bird.
After some time of an unusual quietness the bird says:
"Sorry for all the problems I've cause you sir"
"Please be assured it won't be happening again"
"But; could I ask... what did the turkey in the freezer do to you?"

The parrot's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried. "$150 just to tell me my bird is dead?!" The vet shrugged. "If you'd taken my word for it the bill would only have been $20, but ............. with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan..."

A burglar had been casing a particular house for some time. Finally, he saw the owners leave for what appeared to be an extended camping trip. That night he broke in through a basement window and was trying to find his way in the dark when he heard what seemed to him to be the voice of a very old woman saying, "Shame on you! I see you, and Jesus sees you!" Startled, the burglar snarls back, "Shut up, Grandma, or you're gonna get hurt!" He shines his flashlight all around, but no Grandma. Again the voice says, "Shame on you! I see you, and Jesus sees you!" Finally, the beam of the flashlight finds a large cage and, in it, a pretty upset parrot. Relieved, the burglar turns back around and starts toward the stairs, only to spot an enormous frothing doberman waiting at the top. Just then the parrot screams, "Sic'em, Jesus!"
