    Joke of the Day

    A burglar broke into a house in the ritziest part of town. He was sure nobody was home but he didn’t turn on any lights. He was startled to hear a voice say, “I can see you! And Jesus can see you, too!” He froze in his tracks! A couple of minutes went by and then the voice repeated, “I can see you!

The parrot answered, “I can see you! And Jesus can see you, too!” The burglar laughed, “So what? You’re just a parrot!” “I may be a parrot,” replied the parrot. “But Jesus is a Doberman!”
