Father O'Malley was just relaxing for the evening when one of his parishioners came knocking at his door. He had with him a parrot in a cage.

"Father, I need your help," he said. "I have to go away for a few days and I need someone to look after my bird Fifi. I know you have parrots of your own, so you're the only person I could think of."

"Michael, I've heard about that bird of yours, it uses some pretty filthy language, my two on the other hand are good devout Catholic parrots that do nothing but pray all day."

"In that case Father, your birds can teach her the errors of her ways," said Michael.

"Very well then bring her in," said the priest.

Michael carried the bird in and released her into the Fathers aviary where his two birds were perched holding rosaries and muttering ''Hail Mary's'''' Immediately Fifi flew onto a perch and shrieked out, "I wanna f#?k! I wanna f%*k!"

One of Father O'Malley's parrots immediately dropped his rosary, turned to his companion and squawked, "you can chuck away the beads Charlie. Our prayers have been answered.
