This came today from a "regular contributor." After an enjoyable day with friends and family, possibly feeling a little guilty about the amount of food consumed the diet you've abandoned, at least temporarily - or, if you didn't get to share the day with loved ones and need a lift, I thought perhaps you could use a chuckle. I hope your day was a good one.
H APPY THANKSGIVING!!
A young man named Ken received a parrot named
"Chief" as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's beak was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.
Ken 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, Ken was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. Ken shook the parrot’s cage and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
Ken, 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, Ken quickly opened the door of the freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto Ken’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 in the future I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
Ken 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?"
