Obnoxious Parrot - The Firearms Forum

Recently I 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.

I tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying
only polite words, playing soft music and anything else I could think
of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.

Finally, I was fed up and I yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back.
I shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.

So, in desperation, I threw up my hands, 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 I'd hurt the parrot, I quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto my 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
fullyintend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

I was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As I 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?"
