Holy Parrots.

I heard this on Friday at a funeral (of all things). Thanks to YDW.

A man went into a pet store looking for a parrot. Arriving at the first cage, he asked the clerk:: "How much for this parrot?"

Clerk: "$10,000".

Customer: "10,000!!!??? For a parrot? What does he do for $10,000?"

Clerk: "He can recite the entire Shas by heart".

They then moved over to the next cage.

Customer: "How much for this one?"

Clerk: "$20,000.

Customer: $20,000!!!!???? What does he do?"

Clerk: "He can recite all of Shas AND the meforshim by heart."

They then move over to a third, guilded cage.

Customer: "How much for this one?"

Clerk: "$50,000."

Customer: $50,000!!!!!????? What does this one do?"

Clerk: "I haven't heard him do anything but the first two parrots call him 'the Rebbe'."
