As retold by Bruce Lowitt

A lady goes to her rabbi and tells him, "I have a problem. I have two female talking parrots, but they only know how to say one thing: 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?' What can I do?"

The rabbi thinks, then says, 'I might have a solution. I have two male talking parrots whom I have taught to pray and read scripture. Bring your two parrots over to my house, and put them in with mine. I'm sure my parrots can teach yours a more proper vocabulary.'"

The next day, she brings her parrots to the rabbi, whose birds, in tefillin, are davening. She places her parrots in with them.

After a few minutes, the female parrots say, in unison: "Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?"

For a moment there is silence. Then one male parrot turns to the other one
and says,"Put the siddur away. Our prayers have been answered."
