Parrots

A joke *

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him. "Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say onething."
"What do they say?" the priest inquired.
They say, "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"
"That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed, Then he thought for a moment.
"You know," he said, "I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we'll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying 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 that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them.
After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison:"Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?"
There was stunned silence.
Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed,"Put the beads away, Frank. Our prayers have been answered!"

We have the same type of jokes about the Mullahs and the Sheiks since as long as I can remember if you wanna share some you are welcome...

I know a different version with the two parrots:

An Iraqi citizen living during the times of Saddam Hussein had a parrot that cursed Saddam all the time and he was arrested on suspicion of treason.
He pleaded so hard for his life, the prison guard promised to give him a chance to prove the parrot did not curse Saddam, if he brought the parrot to the police for interrogation.

The Iraqi was scared, but he decided to switch his parrot with the parrot of his very relious neighbour. The neighbour assured him: "My parrot only speaks nice and only religious words."

The Iraqi man brought that parrot to the Iraqi police, telling them his parrot did not curse Saddam.

The Iraqi police was very suspicious, so they wanted to lure the parrot into revealing itself. They stood in front of it, saying over and over again: "Saddam mal3un, Saddam mal3un"

Then the parrot answered: "Alhamdulillah! Allah yesalmak!"

That's OK, you were clearly talking about those pervert Catholics :P

That's a good joke, I haven't heard it before. Safia, I didn't understand yours, can you translate the punchline?

Safia, Please translate the punch line:) Thanks! Lynne from Texas

LadyCroc said...

Punchline: the parrot says in Arabic "Thank God, may God bless you!"

LadyCroc said...

Oh and the Iraqi policemen were saying: "May Saddam be cursed"

This indirectly brings up an interesting point for me Highlander. You've touched on it a few times in the past, but just what are your thoughts on interfaith marriage? I personally am some what of an agnostic. How do you feel about a Christian man marrying a Muslim woman or vice versa while keeping their individual faiths? How would they raise their children? I‘d be very interested in hearing your thoughts on this matter. There was a time in America when Catholics were discouraged from marrying Protestants and Protestants were discouraged from marrying Catholics. Frankly, discouraged is a vast understatement. Now, most people don’t give it a second thought. Is this also true for Sunnis and sheites? Yes, and I’m not sure that I spelled “sheites” correctly. Please correct if it’s wrong. My spell checker seems to be helpless here.

Programmer_Craig ;) I knew you were going to insert the Catholics somehow ...he he he

Curt from Houston, thanks for bringing up the topic , I've been tinkering with a post about it for the last week and I may have just the thing for you. Also you've left another comment for me on another post , but I can't find which post anymore to reply to you. Would you please send me an email and I'll attempt a thorough reply OK?

This is so beautiful is that yours or a quote from someone ?

Well, for once I agree with you, LW. Best way to deal with terrorists is for everyone to get together and go down to the mosque on friday and grab the nearest jihadi (you know who they are! I know who the idiots in my neighborhood are, and I don't believe for a second it's different anywhere else in the world!) and kick their ass all the way down the street, and then go burn their damn house down. And then do it again next week, and the week after that. Pretty soon, no more jihadis.

You with me, Libyan Warrior? Yeah. I thought not :P

As each and one of us is respectfully staying on Highlander's subject of [political] parrot jokes I thoght that I might do some Googling* (*not a TM) on the aforementioned subject. From the clickable link here are two gems:

This guy is in a plane when he feels thirsty. He calls the stewardess and asks her politely for a Large Whiskey.There's a parrot in the seat next to him,who snaps,"A double Scotch and make it quick". "Yes ,sir"the stewardess says, and quickly gets the bird his drink - but ignores the guy. The parrot downs his in one gulp, and says "gimme another". The stewardess gets him a second drink, ignoring the guy again. The guy, meanwhile has been asking for his drink very politely. He decides to use the parrot's tactics and snarls at the stewardess,"You @#*$# hag, get me my bloody Scotch!". Suddenly a large co-pilot comes out of the cockpit and ejects both the guy and the parrot off the plane.

As they're falling, the parrot turns to the guy and says "You know, you're quite brave for someone who can't fly...".

* * * * *

Before the collapse of communism, this Russian guy loses his pet parrot. He looks everywhere, all around the neighborhood, in the park, everywhere. He can't find the parrot. Finally he goes around to the KGB office, and tells the desk officer his problem. The officer is a little puzzled. "Look, comrade, I'm sorry you lost your bird, but this is the KGB. We don't handle missing animal reports." "Oh, I know that", says the guy. "I just wanted you to know, if you do find my parrot... I don't know where he could have picked up all his political ideas."
