Parrot joke! [View all]

There was a magician who worked on a cruise ship. He had a different audience every week, so he did the same tricks, which worked well. Except the captain had a parrot and after awhile, the parrot figured out how the magician did the tricks. Soon, during the show, the parrot would squawk, "It's a different cat!" Or "He's hiding the flowers under the table!" Or "Why are all of the cards the ace of spades?" The magician was furious, but since it was the captain's parrot, he couldn't do anything.
Unfortunately, on the last voyage, there was a storm, and the ship sank. The magician found himself floating in the ocean on a small piece of wood. As luck would have it, the parrot was on the board with him. They stared at each other with hatred, but said nothing. All through the first day, the second day, the third day, utter silence.
On the fourth day, the parrot finally said, "Okay, I give up. Where's the ship?"
