My New Parrot

>

> Recently I received a parrot as a 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.

>

> I tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by

> consistently

> saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything

> else I could

> think of to "clean up" the bird's

> vocabulary.

>

> Finally, I was fed up and I yelled at the parrot.

>

> The parrot yelled back.

>

> I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even

> ruder.

>

> So, in desperation, I threw up my hands, grabbed the bird

> and

> put him in the freezer.

>

> For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and

> screamed.

>

> Then suddenly there was total quiet.

>

> Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

>

> ;Fearing that I'd hurt the parrot,

>

> I quickly opened the door to the freezer.

>

> The parrot calmly stepped out onto my outstretched arms

> and said

>

>

> "I believe I may 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."

>

> I was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

>

> As I was about to ask the parrot what had made such a

> dramatic

> change in his behavior, the bird continued,

>

> "May I ask what the turkey did?"

>

>

> HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
