Parrot Joke

O.K., you've probably all heard this one but I thought I'd throw it out anyway:

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 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 total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly open 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 continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

ROTFLMAO!!!!

That's too funny!!!!!!!!

Even funnier... is how many of us are going to show our birds the turkeys in hopes that they will be remorseful for their naughtyness!

I bet Xaf would terrorize the frozen turkey and then kick Tina's...well Tina's butt for sending him to a temporary Antarctica.

LMAO Ya know, I think you just may be right.

My birds would probably just eat the turkey and then look at me all innocent like "what did I do??"

I've never thought of sticking Xaf in the freezer. ...Until now. Actually, he's seen turkeys and chickens. They hold no interest for him. Celery though? That is an enemy to be vanquished.
