A *happy thanksgiving story*

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 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 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!
