Just received this & thought I'd pass it along, enjoy.

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 profane. John
tried to change the bird's attitude by saying only polite words, playing
soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's
vocabulary. Nothing worked.

Finally, John 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.

John opened the door to the freezer, and the parrot calmly stepped out onto
John's shoulder 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 behaviour.

John was stunned, and as he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a
dramatic change in his behaviour, the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask
what the turkey did?"
