The Parrot: "Happy Early Thanksgiving"

I received this from a friend. Just want to share and hope it makes you smile!

Sorry about all of the little arrows to the left of the text.

The Parrot

> 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 EARLY THANKSGIVING !
