"Ladies of the night"

The madam of a brothel has a problem, so she goes to the Parish Priest to try and find a solution.

She says "I have two talking female parrots, and all they can say is ‘Hello, we’re ladies of the night Would you like to have some fun?’"

"That’s awful," the priest agrees, "but I do have a solution to your problem. I myself like parrots as well. Now it just so happens that I have two male parrots whom I’ve taught to pray and to read passages from the Bible. I suggest that if we put your parrots with mine, I believe the good influence of my parrots will stop yours from saying that awful phrase and they will instead learn to recite the word of God."

"That's a very good idea" says the Madame, so the next day, she brings her parrots to the Parish Priest’s house and puts them in the cage with the male parrots, who are holding rosary beads and praying while sitting on their perch.

"Hello, we’re ladies of the night." say the female parrots. "Would you like to have some fun?"

One male parrot turns to the other and squawks,

"Put those beads and Bible away, Joe! Our prayers are answered!"
