Happy Thanksgiving, guys.
===================================================
The Parrot and Behavior ModificationA young man named John received a parrot as
a gift. The parrot had a badattitude 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
"cleanup" the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up, and he yelled at
the parrot. The parrot yelledback. John shook the parrot, and the parrot got
angrier and even ruder. John, in desperation, threw up his 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 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 to John, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language
and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressionsand 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. Just 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?" HAPPY
THANKSGIVING!
