A woman adopted a parrot from a pet store. The shop owner said, I must warn you, this parrot knows some naughty words.
How bad can it be, she thought, as she took the parrot home. But as soon as she set up the cage in the living room, the parrot whistled and said, "Hiya cutie, wanna fuck?"
And this happened all week, every time she walked into the room. The woman was considering returning the parrot to the pet store.
That Sunday, at church, she mentioned this to her priest at confession, asking if she was a bad person to consider returning the parrot.
"I may be able to help you," said the Father. "I myself have a parrot, and I've been teaching him to pray and recite bible verses. Perhaps if we put them together, your parrot would learn better manners."
The woman brought the parrot to the rectory that very night, and as soon as she carried the bird inside it whistled and said its phrase.
"Thank God," said the priest's parrot. "My prayers have been answered."
