I tapped my uber driver on the shoulder. The driver swerves, nearly hits a car & stopped an inch from a shop window. He apologized and said this is my first day, I’ve been a hearse driver for the past 20 years!

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said, “Jesus knows you’re here.” He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard a voice say, “Jesus is watching you.” Freaked out he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. “Did you say that?” he hissed at the parrot. “Yep, I’m just trying to warn you that he is watching you.” The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?” “I’m Moses.” Replied the bird. “Moses?” The burglar laughed. “What kind of people would name their bird Moses?” “The same kind of people that would name their rottweiler Jesus!” squawked the parrot.
