[nilesfunnies] Fw: The Parrot

The 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 ruder. John, in desperation, threw in 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 really 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 behaviour."

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
behaviour, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
