OH sent me this today,
A young man 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.
He 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, the man was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled
back.
He shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
In desperation, he 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, the man quickly opened the door to the
freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto the man'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 behaviour.
'
The man 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 behaviour, the
bird continued,
'May I ask what the turkey did? '
