a preacher is buying a parrot

are you sure it doesnt scream, yell, or swear? asked the preacher.

oh absolutely. its a religious parrot, the storekeeper assures him.

do you see those ¹ on his legs? when you pull the right one, he recites the lords prayer, and when you pull on the left he recites the 23rd ².

wonderful! says the preacher, but what happens if you pull both strings?

i fall off my ³, you stupid fool! ⁴ the parrot.

一个传教士在买鹦鹉

“你确信它不会尖叫，大叫或诅咒别人吗？”传教士问。

“哦，绝对不会。它是一只虔诚的鹦鹉。”店主保证说。

“你看见它腿上的这些细绳了吗？当你拉动右面的这根，它会背诵天主经，当你拉动左面的那根，它会背诵赞美诗”

“太棒了！”传教士说，“但是如果我同时拉动两条绳子，会发生什么呢？”

“我会从树干上掉下去的，你这个笨蛋！”鹦鹉尖声说道。
