Pet Names

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He stealthily crept through the lounge and was stopped dead in his tracks when he heard a loud voice clearly saying, "Jesus is watching you!"

Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.

"Jesus is watching you," the voice rang out again.

The thief stopped dead again. He was frightened out of his wits. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a birdcage and in the cage was a parrot.

"Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" he asked the parrot.

"Yes," the parrot replied.

The burglar breathed a heavy sigh of relief and asked the parrot: "What's your name?"

"Ronald," said the bird.

"That's a stupid name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Ronald?"

The parrot squawked. "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus."
