A devout church-going woman named Anna hangs around after mass one day to talk to the priest. When he steps out of the church, she says to him, "Heaven help me, Father, I have a problem."

"What is your problem, my child?" the priest asks.

"Well," Anna begins, "I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing, and they say it over and over again."

"What do they say?" the priest inquires.

"They say, 'Hi, we're easy. Want to have some fun?' "

"That's obscene!" the priest exclaims, outraged. "I can see why you're so troubled. Luckily, I think I have a solution. I, myself, am I parrot-keeper, and I, myself, have two male parrots whom I have been training for many years. I have trained them to pray and recite the Bible every day. Why don't you bring your two parrots over to the rectory, and we shall put them in the same cage and my parrots will show them the error of their ways. Why, I'm sure by the time we're done, your parrots will stop saying that...that phrase."

The next day, she brings her two female parrots to the rectory. They place them into the cage of the priest's two parrots, who were sitting there holding little, tiny rosaries in the their little, tiny talons and praying. At first the birds seem fine, not saying anything, so the priest and Anna start talking. They're gabbing away about God and Jesus and stuff, when suddenly the female parrots exclaim, in unison, "Hi, we're easy. Want to have some fun?"

Needless to say, there was a stunned silence.

Finally, one of the priest's male parrots looks over at the other one and says, "Put the beads away, Francis. Our prayers have been answered."
