Thanksgiving 'story'...I don't usually like these but...

Bad 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 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?"
