A young man named John 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.
John 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, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.
The parrot
yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got
angrier and even ruder. In desperation, John threw up
his 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 he'd hurt the
parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's 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."
John 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, when the bird
continued,
"May I ask what the turkey did?"
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
