There was this magician who did an act for vacationers. He had a parrot that was always ruining his act by blurting out in the middle of a trick, AWK! The card is up his sleeve, or AWK! He had the bird in his pocket, or AWK! He slipped it through a hole in the hat.

One day the ship sank, and the magician and parrot found themselves together, floating along on a small raft in the middle of the ocean. For three days the parrot just sat silently and stared at the magician. Finally, on the fourth day, the parrot said, AWK! Okay, I give up. What did you do with the ship?
