The
Parrot
A young man named John received a parrot as an early Christmas 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 up his hands, grabbed the bird and
shoved 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. Just as he was about to ask the
parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior,
the bird continued.... ........'May I enquire as to what the
turkey did?'
Happy
Thanksgiving
