Another old joke
Sep 2, 2021 02:38:53 #
I think "old" is probably redundant since most jokes have been around long, the main distinction being whether or not you've already heard them. If you haven't, then they're new to you.
It so happened that this burglar was plying his trade in a house that he thought was unoccupied at the time, when he heard, in a peculiar sing-song voice:
"Jesus is watching you!"
After waiting to see if he was imagining or hallucinating the voice, and hearing no sounds of occupancy, he returned to his burgling. Again he heard "Jesus is watching you" in the same voice. Alarmed, he began to search the house and found a parrot in one of the rooms. He then observed the parrot repeating the same warning, "Jesus is watching you!"
Relieved. but having trouble grasping the reality of a talking parrot, he asked the bird if he was the speaker he had heard warning about Jesus watching. The parrot answered "Yes. My name is Demosthenes."
"Wow!" said the burglar, "What kind of person would name a parrot Demosthenes?"
The parrot answered, "The same kind that would name his Rottweiler Jesus!"

Very funny.
Reminded me of the parrot who sounded, "Turned around. Inch by inch.... etc" (An old Three Stooges routine.)
PS., Speaking about old being new, I started using some of Henny Youngman's jokes. The "youngsters" are just tickled with the "new" jokes.

Thanks for your comment. As I said, this is probably an oldie but a goodie; as such , who cares if it's got lotsa miles on it? I'm glad that you enjoyed it. BTW, I'm not familiar with that 3 Stooges routine, tho I saw many of the films back in the day.

A priest, a minister and a rabbit walked into the community blood bank to donate some blood. The rabbit said, "I think I'm a Type O."
