Last year I received a parrot as an early Christmas gift, but this 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. I tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently using only polite language, playing soft music and anything else I could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, fed up, I yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. In desperation I 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 silence. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that I'd hurt the parrot, I opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto my outstretched arm and said,
"I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am sincerely remorseful for these transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behaviour."
I was, frankly, stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
Just as I was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behaviour, the bird asked, very softly,
"May I ask what the turkey did?"
