A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again.

“Look, it’s not the same hat.”

“Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table.”

“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.

One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood in the middle of the ocean with the parrot, of course.

They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day and another and another.

After a week the parrot said: “OK, I give up. Where’s the boat?”

A rogue bus driver and a priest go to heaven. At the heavenly gates, St Peter is delighted to see the bus driver and immediately welcomes him inside. The priest is asked to wait and is taken aback by this.

He says to St. Peter: “I have served the Lord through prayer so devotedly my entire life, yet what do I see? You are lavishing so much attention on this despicable bus driver, while I have to wait here. Do I have less merit in the eyes of the Lord than this bus driver?”
