The Parrot
A young man received a parrot as an early Christmas gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. He tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary. Finally, He was so fed up that he yelled at the parrot. The parrot just yelled back. He shook the parrot and the parrot only got angrier and ruder.
In desperation, he threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and shoved him in the freezer. For a few moments the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet - Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, he quickly opened the door of the freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto his outstretched arms and said:
"I believe I have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." The young man was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued....
"May I inquire as to what the turkey did?"
