One for Thanksgiving.

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

Happy Turkey Day!!

Though not a fan of turkeys (except at the bowling alley)!
