And a Parrot joke
« on: December 11, 2003, 00:40:01 »
A rather staid bachelor gentleman who lived on his own decided to buy a parrot for company. Unfortunately, when he got it home he discovered that it knew only one sentence, which was "Let's make love." The parrot said it over and over again, and all his efforts to teach it to say something different ended in failure. Inevitably he felt dreadfully embarrassed when it repeated this sentence in front of elderly lady visitors.

One Sunday, he was chatting to his parish priest after morning service and mentioned his
parrot problem. The priest replied, "I have a parrot who also only knows one sentence. He always says, ”Let us pray.”  So bring your parrot over to the rectory tomorrow, and I'm sure your parrot will be praying by the end of the day."

So, as directed, the man took the parrot  to  the rectory the following morning. The parrot, spying the priest`s parrot, immediately opened its mouth and chanted "Let's make Love."

The priest's parrot closed its eyes, looked up at heaven and said,…….


"My prayer has been answered."

Years ago I had a mynah bird,and he would always let out a wolf whistle whenever a female walked in to the room.He never did it with a male,so I don't know how he knew,but my (ex) husband used to get some peculiar looks at times!
