A magician had been working on a cruise ship for 5 years. He gave the same show each time – never changing his tricks.
There was a parrot in the nightclub where he gave his show. The parrot became so bored with seeing the same tricks, that he began calling out – during the trick – things like, “It’s in his palm.” or “He’s got a duplicate up his sleeve.” or “There’s a hidden compartment.”
One night, during the show, the ship hit an iceberg and sank. Everyone drowned, and the ship went immediately to the bottom of the ocean. All that was left was one piece of debris, with the parrot perched on one end, and the magician clinging to the other.
Hours passed – the two just staring at each other.
Finally, the parrot said, “Okay, I give up. Where’s the ship?”
