The Burglar
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around looking for valuables and when he picked up a VCR to place it in his sack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying "Jesus is watching you."
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked off the flashlight and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit he shook his head, clicked the light back on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect it, 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 the light came to rest on a parrot.
"Did you say that?" he hissed at the bird.
"Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."
The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who the heck are you?"
"Moses" replied the bird.
"Moses??" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a parrot Moses?"
The bird promptly answered, "Probably the same kind that would name a 140 lb Rottweiler Jesus."
