The Parrot Joke
A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was
different each week, so the magician did the same tricks over and
over again.
One problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each
week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once
he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show:
"Look, it's not the same hat!"
"Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table."
"Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"
The magician was furious, but couldn't do anything.
It was, after all, the captain's parrot.
Then the ship sank.
The magician found himself on a piece of wood in the
middle of the sea with, as fate would have it, the parrot. They
stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word. This went on
for a day and then another and then another.
Finally on the fourth day, the parrot could not hold back:
"OK, I give up. Where's the fucking ship?
