THE CRUISE SHIP’S MAGICIAN AND THE CAPTAIN’S PARROT

The Unconventional Gazette
May 12, 2013

There was this magician who applied his trade entertaining the passengers on a cruise ship. Since the audience was different each week, the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem - the captain's parrot saw the shows each time and began to understand how the magician did every trick.

Once he understood, the parrot started shouting in the middle of the show, "Look, it's not the same hat!" Or "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!" Or "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"

The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the captain's parrot. Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning almost all who were on board. The magician found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea, as fate would have it, with the parrot.

They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day. Then 2 days. And then 3 days. Finally on the 4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said..........

"OK, I give up. Where is the fucking ship?"
