the parrot...
« on: November 24, 2004, 08:24:15 PM »
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 doing  everything that 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,   the bird  continued, "May I ask what the turkey

did?"

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
