The magician and the parrot....
A magician is working on a cruise ship, but there is one problem. The captain’s parrot watches every show he does, and after figuring out the tricks, the parrot has started yelling out the secrets of how the tricks are done.
The bird says, “Look, it’s not the same hat!” or “Hey! He’s hiding the flowers under
the table!”
The magician is enraged. But it’s the captain’s parrot, so he can’t do anything about it.
One day on a long cruise, there is an accident. The ship crashes and sinks. The magician and the parrot find themselves clinging to the same plank of wood in the middle
of the ocean. For days neither says anything. Finally, after a week with no hope in sight,
the parrot says, “Okay, I give up. Where’s the ship?”
Thanks for the Saturday morning laugh.

Not so damn smart after all, the parrot is.
