English Original
A preacher is buying a parrot.
"Are you sure it doesn't scream, yell, or swear?" asked the preacher.
"Oh, absolutely. It's a religious parrot," the storekeeper assured him. "Do you see those strings on his legs? When you pull the right one, he recites the Lord's Prayer, and when you pull on the left, he recites the 23rd Psalm."
"Wonderful!" said the preacher. "But what happens if you pull both strings?"
"I fall off my perch, you stupid fool!" screeched the parrot.

一位传教士正在买鹦鹉。
“你确定它不会尖叫、大喊或骂人吗？”传教士问道。
“哦，绝对确定。它是一只虔诚的鹦鹉，”店主向他保证。“你看到它腿上的那些绳子了吗？当你拉动右边那根，它会背诵《主祷文》；拉动左边那根，它会背诵《诗篇》第23篇。”
“太棒了！”传教士说。“但如果我同时拉动两根绳子，会发生什么？”
“我会从栖木上掉下去的，你这个蠢货！”鹦鹉尖叫道。
