Happy Thanksgiving - 11/23/08 01:24 AM
Recently I received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. I tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else I could think of to clean up the bird's vocabulary. Nothing seemed to help.
Finally, I was fed up and I yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back.I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. In desperation, I threw up my 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 and not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that I'd hurt the parrot, I quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto my outstretched arms and said politely, "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."
"May I ask what the turkey did?"
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Everyone!!!
