Jimmy received a parrot for Christmas. The parrot
was fully grown, with a very bad attitude and
worse vocabulary. Every other word was an
expletive; those that weren't expletives were, to
say the least, rude.
Jimmy tried changing the bird's attitude by
constantly using polite words, playing soft
music...anything he could think of. Nothing
worked. He yelled at the bird, and the bird got
worse. He shook the bird, and the bird got
madder and more rude. Finally, in a moment of
desperation, Jimmy put the parrot in the freezer.
For a few moments he heard the bird swearing,
squawking, kicking and screaming and then,
suddenly, there was absolute quiet. Jimmy was
frightened that he might have actually hurt the
bird, and quickly opened the freezer door. The
parrot calmly stepped out onto Jimmy's extended
arm and said, "I'm sorry that I offended you with
my language and my actions, and I ask your
forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my
behavior".
Jimmy was astounded at the changes in the bird's
attitude and was about to ask what had changed
him, when the parrot continued,.............
"May I ask what the Chicken did?"
