Funny Bone: Jesus is watching
The first to chime in regarding our search for dog (and cat) humor was devoted Mutts reader and commenter Mary Schmidt, who passes along this joke.
(Remember, they don't have to be original -- just funny. Besides, one of the benefits of growing older -- and I refer here to myself, by no means you, or Mary -- is that not only does one get to re-read excellent books, but one can enjoy anew jokes one heard months ago and movies and TV shows that one saw last year, assuming one remembers where the remote is. One can also say "one" and get away with it.)
Here's Mary's offering:
A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his pack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."
He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard,
"Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shone 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," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."
The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"
"Moses," replied the bird.
"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"
"The same kind of people that would name a Rottweiller Jesus."

Comments
My middle-aged brain had sort of forgotten sending in the joke, so it was strange to run across my name in the blog today. Yep, every day is a new day!
I do enjoy the "Mutts" blog very much.
