Humor Spot 05: A bird named Moses

A burglar breaks into a house. He starts shining his light around looking for valuables. Some nice things catch his eye, as he reaches for them, he hears, "Jesus is watching you." Startled, the burglar looks for the speaker. Seeing no one, he keeps putting things in his bag, again, he hears, "Jesus is watching you." This time, he sees a parrot. "Who are you?" the burglar asks."Moses," the bird replied."Who the heck would name a bird Moses?" the man laughed."I dunno," Moses answered," I guess the same kind of people that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."
