To make matters worse, during the shows, he started squawking things like, “Look! He’s hiding the flowers under the table,” and, “Look! It’s not the same hat.” One stormy night the ship capsized sending all aboard to life rafts. The parrot and the magician ended up on the same boat.  A day goes by, and the two adversaries say nothing to one another.  They continue to ignore each other until finally on the fourth day, the parrot says, “OK, I give up, where’s the freakin’ boat?”
