Banta was magician and used to work on a cruise ship.
The audience was different each week, so the Banta used to do the same tricks over and over again and receive applause every time.
There was one problem though. The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show "Look, it's not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table," or "Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"
Banta was furious at times, but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the captain's parrot.
One day it so happened that while Banta was performing his tricks, the ship sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood in the middle of the sea with, as fate would have it, the parrot.
They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day and then another and then another.
Finally on the tenth day, the parrot could not hold back and said,
"OK, I give up, This trick is something new. Where's the bloody ship?"

I was half expecting a more violent end for the parrot, but I'm glad it was just a pun
