A young man named 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 ruder. John, 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, John quickly opened the door to the
      freezer.

      The parrot calmly stepped out onto John'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 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. 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
