A burglar is stealing silver from a reception room of an opulent house when he hears a strange voice call: “Jesus is watching you!”
A glance round the dark room shows him that nobody else is really there. Perhaps, of all things, it was the voice of his conscience? ‘Unlikely, he tells himself. More nervously than previously, he continues to bag candlesticks and other valuable items. But again he hears: “Jesus is watching you!”
He sweeps the room with a torch, and sees a parrot in a cage in the far corner.
“Who’s that?” he says. “I’m Moses,” the parrot says.
“How bloody silly!” the burglar says. “What sort of person would call a parrot ‘Moses’?”
“The same sort of person that would call a Rottweiler ‘Jesus’,” says the parrot.
