A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad voacbulary. Every word that came out of the birds mouth was rude, obnoxious, and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to changr the birds attitud by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the birds 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 frezzer. For a few min. the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over 10 minutes. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the frezzer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Johns outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. Im sincerely remorselful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everyrhung I can do to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." John was stunned at the change in the birds 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?"
