Cruise Ship

[hisslowness]

>> A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was
>> different each week, so the magician did the same tricks over and over
>> again. One problem:
>>
>> The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began
>> to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he
>> started shouting in the middle of the show:
>>
>> "Look, it's not the same hat!"
>>
>> "Look, he's 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.
>>
>> Then the ship sank. The magician found himself on a
>> piece of wood in the middle of the sea with, as fate would have it,
>> the parrot. They stared at each other with hatred but did not utter a
>> word. This went on for a day and then another and then another.
>>
>> Finally on the fourth day, the parrot could not hold back:
>>
>> "OK, I give up. Where's the fucking ship?"
