The Tattle-Tale Parrot

A magician was performing on a cruise ship. The pay was okay, but there was just one problem: The captain’s parrot saw the shows every week knew the tricks. In the middle of the show, the parrot would squawk:

“Look, it’s not the same hat… he’s hiding the flowers under the table… hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?”

The magician couldn’t do anything because it was the captain’s parrot.

One day the ship sank and the magician found himself clinging to a
piece of wood… with the parrot perched on the other end. They stared at each other silently for several hours days.

Fianlly the parrot squawked: “Okay, I give up. What did you do with the boat?”
