THE PARROT

[Glenys]

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 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 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.


Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. The parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet.
Not a peep for over a minute.



Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out 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 behavior."

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly,







"May I ask what the turkey did?"

I have threatened Earl so many times, I have lost count. Fortunately the only bad language he has is that he occasionally shouts "b****y 'ell".

Apart from shouting at Molly etc., and calling me a reptile, and telling visitors to "be gone" as soon as they enter the lounge, he isn't too bad a parrot.

I have to admit, being the owner of a parrot, I think I have heard most parrot jokes, but this is a good one, along with Jesus and the burglar which I have posted.
