Late one night, a burglar broke into a house that he thought was
empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly froze in his
tracks when he heard a loud voice say, "Jesus is watching you!"
Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.
"Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again.
The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he
looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the
cage was a parrot.
"Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" he asked the parrot.
"Yes," said the parrot.
The burglar breathed a sigh of relief then asked, "Is your name
Jesus?"
"No. It's Clarence," said the bird.
"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot
named you Clarence?"
The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus."
