THE TALKING PARROTS
A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a problem.
I have two female talking parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."
What do they say?" the priest inquired.
They say 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?'"
That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed. Then he thought for a moment. "You
know," he said, "I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male
talking parrots whom I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your
two female parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with
Francis and Job. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship,
and your parrots are sure to stop saying ...that phrase...in no time."
Thank you," the woman responded, "this may very well be the solution."
The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest's house. As he
ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage,
holding rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her
parrots in with them.
After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: "Hi, we're
prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?"
There was a stunned silence. Finally, one male parrot looked over at the
other male parrot and exclaimed, "Put the beads away, Francis, our prayers
have been answered!"
