A magician working on a cruise ship was frustrated. The captain's parrot knew all his tricks and would shout the performer's secret in the middle of each show.
The magician wanted to strangle the bird, but it was the captain's pet.
Then the boat sank -- and the performer found himself on a raft in the middle of the ocean with only the parrot for company.
They stared at each other with hatred but did not utter a word. This went on for several days.
After a week the parrot said: "Okay, I give up. Where's the boat?"
