Subject: 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.
> In desperation, John threw up his hands, 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 calml! y 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, when the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
