A magician is working on a small cruise ship. He had been doing routines night after night for almost two years. The audiences appreciate him and change over often enough so that he doesn't have to perform many new tricks.
There's a parrot who sits in the back row, watching him night after night, year after year.
Finally, the parrot figures out how the tricks work and starts giving away the secrets to the audience.
For example, when the magician makes a bouquet of flowers disappear, the parrot squawks, "Behind his back! Behind his back!"
The magician gets really annoyed about this, but he doesn't know what to do. The parrot belongs to the captain, so he can't kill it.
One day, the ship springs a leak and sinks. The magician manages to swim to a plank of wood floating by and grabs on. The parrot is sitting on the other end of the plank.
They just stare at each other and drift. They drift for three days and still don't speak. On the morning of the fourth day, the parrot looks over at the magician and says:
"OK. I give up. Where'd you hide the ship?"
