Thanks to Diane
LeCrone for this one.
A lady goes to her
parish priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a problem.
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 prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?"
"That's obscene!"
the priest exclaimed, "I can see why you are embarrassed."
He thought a minute and then said, "You know, I may have a solution
to this problem. I have two male parrots whom I have taught to pray
and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house and we will
put them in the cage with Francis and Job. My parrots can teach your
parrots to praise and worship. I'm sure your parrots will stop saying
that...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 his two male parrots were inside their cage, holding their
rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her
parrots in with them. After just a couple of seconds, the female parrots
exclaimed 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 said, "Put the beads away, Francis, our prayers have been answered.
