Thought I would share:
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 open the door to the freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto my 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."
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?"
Happy Thanksgiving Y'all
