Happy Turkey Day! (And Holidays!)



A friend sent this to my sister

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 to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite
words, playing soft music and anything else he could to 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 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 quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing
that he had hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arm and said, "I
believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I am
sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgression 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!
