The 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 arm 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?"
