THANKSGIVING STORY
I recently received a parrot as an early Christmas gift. I found 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.
I tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else I could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary, but nothing seemed to work.
Finally, I got fed up and yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back.
I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. In desperation, I threw up my hands, grabbed the bird and shoved 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 I'd hurt the parrot, I quickly opened the door to the freezer. To my surprise, the parrot calmly stepped out onto my 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.'
Of course, I was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As I was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued....
(Obligatory punch line spacer)
"May I inquire as to what the turkey did?'
