The Burglar

A man was robbing a house when he suddenly heard a voice say "God is watching." Alarmed, he spun around to see who was speaking to be confronted by a parrot, who again repeated, "God is watching."

"What an idiotic thing to train your bird to say," said the robber, to which the bird promptly responded, "I'm not an idiot. God is watching." The robber decided to have a little fun with the bird asked, "What's your name, you silly parrot?"

"Prophet," said the parrot.

"Prophet?" laughed the robber. "What kind of idiot owners name their parrot prophet?"

"The same ones who named their rottweiler God," responded the parrot.
