Another Parrot Joke
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad
attitude and a terrible 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 do 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 more rude.
John, in desperation, threw up his hand, 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!
