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 more rude. 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 spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!
