THE BURGLAR
|
|
|
|
. Ted Vogel says the burglar was cruising through one of our posh
|
|
suburbs looking for a target of opportunity. At one house he saw a
|
|
truck unloading a big screen television, stereo, and video outfit. All
|
|
the gear had to cost thousands of dollars. He made a mental note and
|
|
went on his way.
|
|
. The next day he was back in the same neighborhood. When he
|
|
drove past the house with all the goodies, he saw an elderly couple
|
|
loading suitcases into the trunk of their car. He could hardly wait.
|
|
. That night, without a moon in the sky and a heavy fog, he drove
|
|
up to the house. He rang the doorbell and when no one answered, broke
|
|
the lock on the kitchen door and went in.
|
|
. It was pitch black inside as he made his way through the
|
|
kitchen, then the dining room and into the den where he expected to
|
|
find the things he wanted to steal.
|
|
|
|
. "I see you and Jesus sees you," a voice said.
|
|
|
|
. The burglar froze in his tracks.
|
|
|
|
. "I see you and Jesus sees you," the voice said again.
|
|
|
|
. When nothing more happened, the burglar took out his flashlight
|
|
and shinned it in the direction of the voice. All he saw was a parrot
|
|
on its perch.
|
|
|
|
. "I see you and Jesus sees you."
|
|
|
|
. The burglar laughed.
|
|
|
|
. "Just a dumb bird," he said.
|
|
|
|
. The burglar closed the drapes before turning on a lamp and
|
|
that's when he saw a big and mean looking Doberman Pinscher sitting
|
|
beneath the parrot's perch.
|
|
|
|
. "Sic him, Jesus!" the parrot said.
