This magician performs on a cruise ship. The captain of the cruise ship has a parrot that he likes to take to all the shows. The parrot knows the routine, so during every performance her blurts out, "It's up his sleeve. ". "It's in his shoe". "It's in his hat".

The magician has finally had enough and takes out his gun to shoot the parrot. The bird ducks, and the bullet hits a propane gas tank, causing the ship to blow up into a hundred pieces. The only two to survive are the magician and the parrot. They're drifting along on two small pieces of wood when the parrot says, "I give up. Where the hell's the ship".
