Subject: The Magician and the Parrot


A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each
week, so the  magician did the same
tricks over and over again.

One problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to
understand  how the magician
did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle
of the show:

"Look, it's not the same hat!", "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the
table." "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"

The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all,
the captain's parrot.

Then the ship sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood in the
middle of the  sea with, as fate
would have it, the parrot. They stared at each other with hatred but did
not utter a word. This went on for a day and then another and then
another.

Finally on the fourth day, the parrot could not hold back:
"OK, I give up. Where's the fucking ship?"
