Weekend joke - Mama's Bible


Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers.

One evening, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the 75th birthday gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who moved to Florida.

The first said, "You know I had a big house built for Mama."

The second said, “And I had a large theater built in the house."

The third said, "And I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."

The fourth said, "You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and you know she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot who could recite the entire Bible. It took ten preachers almost 8 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $50,000 a year for five years to the church, but it was worth it. Mama only has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it."

The other brothers were impressed. After the celebration Mama sent out her “Thank You” notes.

She wrote: “Milton, the house you built is so huge that I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway."

"Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home; I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks."

"Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound and it can hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing, and I’m nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same."

"Dearest Melvin, you were the only to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you so much.

Great joke with a lesson. We all see value and worth in life based on our abilities, preferences and desires. More importantly, we now know that parrot does taste like chicken !

The parrot should shout loudly "Thou shalt not kill" when the old mama was killing it.

OMG, the mother ate the $250,000 worth of parrot who could recite the whole bible. She thought that parrot was a chicken, so she killed it and ate it. What a shame !!

The big house, big theater and Mercedes car are all useless.
