JOKES
ONCE THERE WAS A SEA CAPTAIN WHO OWNED A PARROT. THE PARROT WAS
VERY SMART AND HAD A GREAT MEMORY. ONE DAY A MEMBER OF THE CREW
RUSHED IN AND SAID TO THE CAPTAIN, "CAPTAIN, CAPTAIN, I THINK
THERE'S A STORM BREWING."
"THE CAPTAIN REPLIED, "AWW, YOU'RE FULL OF BOLONI" AND THE PARROT
REMEMBERED THAT.
ANOTHER TIME ON THEIR VOYAGE A MAN RAN UP TO THE CAPTAIN AND
SAID! "THERE'S A MAN OVERBOARD, THERE'S A MAN OVERBOARD:"
THE CAPTAIN REPLIED, "HOIST EM UP", HOIST EM UP, AND THE PARROT
REMEMBERED THAT.
NEAR THE END OF THE VOYAGE, THE NAVIGATOR RUSHED UP TO THE
CAPTAIN AND SAID, "CAPTAIN, WE HIT BLACK ROCK, WE HIT BLACK
ROCK." THE PARROT REMEMBERED THAT.
WHEN THE CAPTAIN WENT ASHORE ONE DAY, HE SOLD THE PARROT TO A
RELIGIOUS MAN. THE MAN TOOK THE PARROT WITH HIM TO CHURCH
THAT SUNDAY.
THE PREACHER OPENED THE BIBLE AND SAID, "THE LORD LIVES IN
HEAVEN."
THE PARROT SAID, "AWW, YOU'RE FULL OF BALONI."
THE PREACHER GREW ANGRY BUT CONTINUED WITH, "THE DEVIL RULES IN
HELL."
THE PARROT ANSWERED, "HOIST EM UP", HOIST EM UP:
THE PREACHER GOT SO MAD THAT HE THREW THE BIBLE AT THE PARROT
BUT HE MISSED AND HIT A NEGRO SITTING BEHIND THE PARROT IN THE
HEAD.
THE PARROT SAID, "WE HIT BLACK ROCK, WE HIT BLACK ROCK."
