There was once a magician on a cruise ship who performed mainly sleight-of-hand tricks. He had a regular spot on the ship's cabaret evening entertainment. He was actually quite a good magician, but his routines were regularly ruined by the onboard parrot who would fly around squawking out and giving away his secrets like:
"IT'S UP HIS SLEEVE, IT'S UP HIS SLEEVE!" or

"IT'S IN HIS POCKET, IT'S IN HIS POCKET!" or

"IT'S IN HIS MOUTH, IT'S IN HIS MOUTH!"

The magician was getting pretty sick of this and threatened to kill the parrot if it ruined his act one more time. That evening right at the climax of his act, just as he was about to disappear in a puff of smoke, the ship hit an iceberg and sank in seconds.

Amazingly, the magician and the parrot were the only two survivors. The magician was lying on a piece of driftwood in a daze. As he opened his eyes he could see the parrot staring at him out of its beady little eye.

The parrot sat there for hours just staring at him and eventually said, "OK, I give up, what did you do with the ship?"

I'll bet the parrot was miserable. Hopefully, he didn't spend his time playing poker with our Senior Squid.

Wow, that would make that one hell of a parrot...rather, more akin to a miracle worker

Anything or anyone that could teach BB how to play poker would constitute a miracle worker.

Get rid of the parrot, Salty. I'd rather keep BB as a reliable source of income. The Sgt. Major has needs that require extra cash.

Well, perhaps we could get BB to teach the parrot his brand of poker playing so we could have two sources of income rather than just BB's.
