The Parrot and the Burglar
Late one night, a burglar crept into a house, trying his best to remain unnoticed. Just as he tiptoed through the living room, a thunderous voice shattered the silence: “Jesus is watching you!”
Startled, he froze in place. Heart pounding, he waited, but when nothing happened, he cautiously resumed his steps.
Once again, the voice boomed, “Jesus is watching you!”
This time, he panicked and frantically scanned the room. His eyes landed on a parrot perched inside a cage.
“Was that you?” he asked, pointing at the bird.
“Yes,” the parrot replied, tilting its head.
Relieved, the burglar let out a breath and chuckled. “What’s your name?”
“Moses,” the parrot answered.
The burglar snorted. “Moses? What kind of fool names a parrot Moses?”
With a squawk, the parrot shot back, “The same fool who named the Rottweiler Jesus.”
The Nutty Cemetery Mix-Up
One day, two boys were sitting under a nut tree near a cemetery, dividing a large bucket of nuts between them. Some of the nuts had spilled out and rolled close to the cemetery fence, but the boys ignored those for the moment as they focused on their task.
“One for you, one for me,” they chanted, their voices echoing in the quiet.
As fate would have it, a boy riding his bike nearby heard the rhythmic voices. Convinced he’d stumbled upon something otherworldly, he whispered to himself, “It’s Satan and St. Peter dividing souls!” Terrified, he pedaled down the road to find help and encountered an old man sitting on a porch.
“You have to come! They’re dividing souls at the cemetery!” the boy cried.
Intrigued and slightly skeptical, the old man reluctantly hobbled over with him. As they approached the fence, the chilling chant continued: “One for you, one for me…”
Shivering, the old man murmured, “Dear Lord, it’s true!”
But before they could flee, one of the boys called out, “Now let’s grab the ones by the fence!”
Legend has it the old man managed to make it back to town five minutes before the terrified boy.
The Twin Naming Fiasco
While attending a conference overseas, a man received the exciting news that his wife had just given birth to twins. Thrilled, he called her immediately.
“Who took you to the hospital?” he asked.
“Your brother, Joe,” she replied. “Since I was under anesthesia, he also named the babies.”
The man froze. “Joe?! He’s terrible with names! What did he call them?”
“Well,” she said, “he named the girl Deniece.”
The man sighed in relief. “That’s not too bad. What about the boy?”
“He named him De-nephew.”
The Farmer’s Divorce Dilemma
A farmer strolled into a lawyer’s office and declared, “I want a divorce.”
The lawyer, curious, asked, “What grounds do you have?”
“About 140 acres,” the farmer answered matter-of-factly.
The lawyer sighed. “No, I mean, do you have a grudge?”
“Sure do. That’s where I park my tractor.”
Trying not to lose patience, the lawyer asked, “Is there any reason at all why you want a divorce?”
The farmer scratched his head and replied, “Well, we can’t ever have a meaningful conversation.”
The Frog’s Unfortunate Prediction
One day, a frog decided to call a psychic hotline to get a glimpse of his future.
To his delight, the psychic said, “In the near future, you’ll meet a beautiful young woman. She’ll be utterly captivated by you and will want to know everything about you.”
Excited, the frog asked, “Where will I meet her? At a party? Maybe she’ll walk past my home?”
The psychic hesitated for a moment before responding, “Actually… you’ll meet her in her biology class next semester.”
The Never-Ending War
A man in Amsterdam went to confession and admitted, “Father, during World War II, I hid a refugee in my attic.”
“That’s not a sin,” the priest assured him. “You provided shelter to someone in need.”
The man hesitated, then added, “But I charged him 20 Gulden a week.”
The priest frowned but said, “While that wasn’t entirely right, you still saved his life.”
Relieved, the man let out a deep breath. “Thank you, Father. I feel so much better. But… do I have to tell him the war is over?”
The Iron Phone Incident
Mark showed up at work with both ears bright red and sore.
A curious coworker asked, “What happened to you?”
Mark sighed and explained, “I was ironing while watching TV, and when the phone rang, I accidentally picked up the iron instead.”
“Okay… but what about the other ear?”
“The guy called back.”
Sharing is Caring
An elderly couple entered a fast-food restaurant and ordered a single burger with a small serving of fries. After sitting down, they carefully divided everything in half—the burger, the fries, and even the drink.
A trucker sitting nearby felt sorry for them and offered to buy the wife her own meal.
The husband politely declined, saying, “Oh no, thank you. We share everything.”
Moments later, the trucker noticed that while the husband was eating, the wife hadn’t touched a single bite. Concerned, he asked, “Why aren’t you eating?”
She replied sharply, “Because I’m waiting for the teeth!”
The Blind Bat
A vampire bat flew back to his cave, his face smeared with blood. The other bats swarmed him, eager to know where he found it.
“Fine,” he said, “follow me.”
He led them through a dense forest, finally stopping near a large tree.
“Do you see that tree?” he asked.
“YES!” the others shouted in unison.
“Good,” the bat replied. “Because I didn’t!”
The Florist’s Card Mix-Up
A man opening a new business was thrilled when he received a bouquet of flowers to celebrate the occasion. His excitement quickly turned to confusion when he read the card: “Deepest Sympathy.”
He called the florist to complain. “There’s been a mistake,” he said.
The florist was horrified. “I’m so sorry! Your card must’ve gone to the funeral home by accident.”
The man asked, “What did their card say?”
The florist hesitated before replying, “Congratulations on your new location.”
The Honest Lawyer
A lawyer named Strange ordered a tombstone with the inscription: “Here lies an honest man and a lawyer.”
The stonecutter objected. “It’s illegal to bury two people in one grave. But I can write: ‘Here lies an honest lawyer.’”
The lawyer frowned. “How will anyone know it’s me?”
The stonecutter smirked and said, “Don’t worry. People will read it and say, ‘That’s Strange.’”
The Farmer in Hell
A Texas farmer found himself in hell after passing away. Surprisingly, he seemed completely unfazed by the heat and even smiled.
The Devil, puzzled, asked, “Why are you so happy?”
The farmer replied, “This feels just like a hot June day back home when I’m working in the fields.”
Annoyed, the Devil cranked the temperature up to 105°F with suffocating humidity. Yet, the farmer still didn’t flinch.
Frustrated, the Devil tried a different approach and froze hell over, dropping the temperature to a frigid -10°F.
To his shock, the farmer began jumping around and cheering.
“Now what are you celebrating?” the Devil demanded.
The farmer yelled, “The Cowboys must’ve won the Super Bowl!”
