John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot, Louise, 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, tossed up his hands, grabbed the bird and put

her 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 continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

Jeepz,

It is so sedate around here I think everyone took a valium when logging in.

Since I blush easily, I tend toward gentler jokes.
