PRAYING PARROTS

A

lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have
a problem. I have two female parrots, but they
only

know how to say one thing."

"What do they say?" the priest inquired.

They say, "Hi, we're hookers! 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, which I
have taught to pray and

read the Bible. Bring your two parrots
over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Frank
and Jacob. My

parrots can teach your parrots to pray 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 hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"


There was stunned silence.

Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other
male parrot and exclaimed, "Put

the beads away, Frank. Our
prayers have been answered!"
