The Parrot

Your joke reminds me of something. I recently saw a video on social media where a parrot was feeding snacks to a man while he was watching TV. Do you think he also visited the freezer?

 

Another parrot joke…

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting together for Christmas, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.

The first said, "I will build a big house for our mother."

The second said, "I will give her a Mercedes."

The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can't see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it."

Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks:

"Dear Milton," she wrote one son, "The house you built is too huge. I live in only one room, but I have to keep the whole house clean!"

"Dear Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel. I stay at home most of the time, so I rarely use the Mercedes."

"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "You have the good sense to know what your Mother likes. The chicken was Dee-licious!"

 

Yes, it's a very nice joke... And indeed... sometimes the simplest gifts bring the greatest joy. Despite the extravagant gestures of the first two sons, it was the thoughtful and practical gift of the third son, the parrot, that brought the most happiness to their mother, even if not in the way he intended. However, it's a pity for the parrot...
