A magician worked on a cruise ship.

The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks
over and over again.

There was only 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!" or "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table!"
or "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 one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning
almost all who were on board.

The magician luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating 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 2 days... and then 3 days... Finally on the 4th
day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said......

"OK, I give up. Where's the bloody ship?"
