A young man named John received a parrot as a gift.<\/span><\/p>\n

The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
\nEvery word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

John tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft\u00a0
\n<\/span>music and anything else he could think of to ’clean up’ the bird’s vocabulary.
\nFinally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

John, in desperation, threw up his hand,grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For a few minutes the parrot squawked, kicked and screamed.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
\nFearing that he’d hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The parrot calmly stepped out onto John’s outstretched arms and said <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

”I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behaviour.”
\nJohn was stunned at the change in the bird’s attitude.
\nAs he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behaviour, the\u00a0bird spoke-up, very softly, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

”May I ask what the turkey did?”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
