Happy thanksgiving!

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 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!
