>> 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 doing 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 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 continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
>>
>> HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!
