BAD PARROT

 

 

A 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 saying

only polite words, playing soft music and anything else 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 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 spoke-up, very softly,

 

"May I ask what the turkey did?"
